The OKC Thunder, on the verge of their first championship, are also strategically eyeing the future with an impressive collection of four first-round picks for the 2025 NBA Draft. This includes their own pick, along with selections acquired from the Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers, while the implications of a swap with the Los Angeles Clippers adds another layer to their draft strategy.

Notably, the Thunder's pick from Miami is set to convey as the Heat made the playoffs. On the other hand, the pick from Utah will not convey this year, remaining protected. The 76ers' pick remains uncertain, but the odds favor them retaining it. With a solid core and this draft capital, the Thunder could further bolster their roster.
