THUNDER SQUAD SHOW: Championship Or BUST?!? OKC Thunder Season Preview + Can SGA Win MVP AGAIN?

Oklahoma City Thunder news and rumors today with Tyler Jones, Rylan Stiles, Derek Parker, and Jeremy Lamb preview the 2026-27 OKC Thunder season. After a disappointing loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals last season, is it championship or bust for the Oklahoma City Thunder this season? Plus, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is coming off back-to-back MVP awards. Can SGA three-peat and prove why he's the best player in the world? Also, who are the OKC Thunder's breakout candidates this year? Could we see Ajay Mitchell, Jared McCain, Cason Wallace, Aday Mara, Bennett Stirtz, or Nikola Topić step up and have a big year in Oklahoma City? Meanwhile, who will be the second option for the OKC Thunder outside of SGA? Expectations are high for Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to have a big year in Mark Daigneault's system.
