The NBA season will begin in the near future, and several files will attract the attention of observers, starting with the possible birth of a new dynasty.
The thunder of Oklahoma City confirmed his impressive regular season in 2024-2025, having won the second championship in its history. But in view of how this labor force was built, one can really wonder if they are in the process of joining between dynasties in the history of the League.

“This is possible, recently launched Montrealrs Luguentz Dort in an interview. But these tests should be left in the media. We are sure that next year it will be very difficult for us to win. If you ultimately find ourselves in the dynasty, ”it will be really good. But you must take this match in the match, season season. ”
The Managing Director Sam Prestige did not make any changes during the summer, satisfying himself with the expansion of the contracts of several of its leaders, including Jenen Williams and Chet Holmgren.
In 2024-2025, Thunder was the youngest team that won the title after The Portland Trail Blazers in 1977. And this year, the preparation of Oklahoma will become the sixth youngest as a whole.
Oklahoma City also has among his viewers the most useful player for his club in Shai Gilgeus-Aleksander, and one of the best defenders in the NBA-Span.
And if prestige ever wanted to improve her club, he could easily do this thanks to many first options that he has in the bank.
In short, the thunder will still be a team to win this year.
Quebecs for monitoring
In addition, the thunder, of course, will become one of the most tracked training courses with us, because it is considered in its ranks, the Quebec is sleeping.
He had a wonderful season last year, when he was rewarded at a meeting with the first defense team of the League. The next step for him can be the title for the best defender in the highway …
“I am sure that I will put myself in the best position to be recognizable,” he said. I am glad that my colleagues and the NBA as a whole were able to notice my skill and put myself in the first protective team. “
The season of 2025-2026 will be more important for him, because he will be his last before, perhaps, he will become an autonomous player. Thunder has the opportunity to extend the current contract for an additional year, but it is safe that Presti will strive to find a long -term agreement with Montrealrs.
However, this will not be easy, because labor requests can cool the fear of the Director General, who is recognized as his prudent financial department. Number 5 Thunder can request 25 million dollars a year, which currently earns 18.2 million dollars.
Another player who is worth watching is a good friend of Dort, Bennedict Mathurin. The latter was on the wrong side of the story, as his Indiana Pisers bowed in the final against thunder. Nevertheless, he will have the right to greater responsibility next year, because he was promised a place among five starters next year.
23 -year -year -old -conquered the last campaign with the average components of 16.1 points, 5.3 selections and 1.9 decisive.
Finally, we will carefully monitor the first steps of Chris Bacher with Boston Celtics, who initialized a one -dash contract worth 3.33 million dollars this summer.
He will also have to take on increased duties after the departure of Crystpse of Porzi. Moreover, the year promises to be difficult for the Massachusetts Club, which will have to make more bets on his support players from many summer departures and long -term injury to her star Jason Tatum.
Finally expansion?
No, the 31st team will not see the light in the NBA in 2025-2026. Commissioner Adam Silver, it seems, is ready, is ready to follow this path.
Las -Vegas and Seattle, who saw how his Sonics moved to Oklahoma -City in 2008, are at the top of the list of cities, which will most likely accept a new concession. Nevertheless, silver assured that certain certainty should exist before starting a possible process in this sense.
“Now we are doing this in the analysis that we are not ready to do earlier,” said Silver in the comments transmitted by the ESPN network in July.
“But besides this, as I said, this is only the first day of this analysis,” the manager continued. As for the potential price or graphics, it is still too early to solve. And again, I think that this will also depend on the conclusions of this analysis. This is a really difficult question. “
In accordance with the assessment Sports business —the elevator JulyThe expansion will cost from 5 to 6 billion US dollars, not to mention additional expenses in this astronomical amount as the construction of the arena.
