They weren’t able to go all the way to the Finals but the Oklahoma City Thunder just had one of their best seasons ever.
OKC earned a 57-25 record, making them the best team in the Western Conference.
But they could be getting even better next year, according to Skip Bayless.
Speaking on his show, Bayless stated that the Thunder are building a true dynasty right now, especially after acquiring both Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso.
They were already great, but Bayless thinks the Thunder are about to get even greater.

Both Hartenstein and Caruso will bring so much to the team.
They are known for their strong defensive skills, although they are also impressive on the other end of the court too.
Hartenstein and Caruso are joining a team that is young, driven, and supremely talented.
Perhaps more important than all of that is the fact that Thunder players truly love one another.
Bayless pointed this out, reminding viewers of how the players were often on the court together during post-game interviews, sharing the spotlight with each other and showing how close they are.
This will be key moving forward because they will fight hard individually and collectively as a true and close-knit group.
It takes a lot to become an NBA dynasty but Bayless thinks the Thunder has what it takes.
They certainly have lots of potential and skills and they will have to show them off often in 2024-25.
Before they can become a dynasty, the Thunder have to win the Finals.
Will they be able to do that next season?
