I guess not having your third best player (Wade) healthy hurts.
No, as long as the core three players of the Thunder are healthy they should win a title. If thye get a chance and they don't then its a big fail.

Please name the teams that drafted three top 10 players in three consecutive years in addition to one of the top 5 defensive bigs in the league that can stretch the floor.
Thunder have drafted just fine afterwards. Jackson mailed it in because he wanted to go elsewhere. Adams and McGary are promising young bigs. Even a guy like Roberson has a place in this league once he improves his shooting. Nobody hits every year in the draft.
