Portland Trail Blazers Receive: G/F Luguentz Dort, G/F Josh Giddey, F David Nwaba, F/C Aleksej Pokusevski, 2024 First-Round Pick (UTA via OKC), 2026 First-Round Pick (MIA via OKC), 2028 First-Round Pick (OKC) 
Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: G Damian Lillard 

Realistically, the Thunder are in one of the most enviable positions in the NBA. How did they get here? 

Well, they laid a solid foundation. The Thunder received a mountain of draft capital in exchange for Paul George and Russell Westbrook. They got other picks where they could.

This team set itself up for success. They also got Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. This team started a rebuild with a foundational star and little else outside of first-round picks.

That’s exactly how you’re supposed to do it.

With that said, Gilgeous-Alexander’s development has likely surprised even the Thunder’s front office. That’s a huge part of how the Thunder have been so successful this season.

Gilgeous-Alexander is a top-10 player – if not top-5. 

Would he make sense alongside Lillard?
