Oklahoma City, Houston and Memphis are young teams with large asset pools, but going "all-in" at the wrong time could backfire.

With the NBA trade deadline a week away, let’s look at three deals the Thunder could make. And emphasis on could.

Oklahoma City takes on the Sacramento Kings after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 52 points in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 116-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Stephen Curry bounced back from a four-point first half with five second-half 3-pointers and the Golden State Warriors rallied to overcome Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 52 points and stun the Oklahoma City Thunder 116-109 on Wednesday night in San Francisco.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will have a second NBA All-Star this season, as Jalen Williams is set to join Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in San Francisco next month.

Williams is just one of six players to average 20 points, five rebounds, five assists, and 1.50 steals a game this season. The 2025 NBA All-Star Game is scheduled for Sunday, February 16th in San Francisco at the Chase Center.
