I'm going to dive into these in separate team-by-team posts.
I think I agree with all of the points you made.
Another one I've been thinking about is that OKC needs to overpay for whoever they think is an ideal fit next to Chet and in their locker room. Someone mentioned Lauri Markenen for that spot.
I'm also expecting Trae to be on that Lakers team next year.
I agree with your view that they need a big to play next to Chet. Also, they desperately need rebounding. If you look at their stats during the regular season, they get out rebounded a lot. Also, in the last 2 losses to the Mavs, they got completely destroyed on the boards. Chet is tall and all, but it seems he doesn't box out well enough and/or simply can't get those boards. Markenen seems like a good option, as he averaged over 8 rebounds last season and can shoot the 3 (almost 40% 3 pt shot). He is also young, so will probably have the legs to run the floor and play at a fast pace along OKC's young roster.
