The 2020–21 Oklahoma City Thunder season was the 13th season of the franchise in Oklahoma City and the 55th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This is the first season since 2014–15 without head coach Billy Donovan, as he mutually agreed to part ways with the Thunder on September 8, 2020, and 14 days later, went on to become the new head coach of the Chicago Bulls.[1] For the first time since 2012–13, long-time players Steven Adams and André Roberson were not on the roster, as Adams was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, and Roberson signed with the Brooklyn Nets.

On November 11, the Thunder promoted assistant and former Oklahoma City Blue coach Mark Daigneault as their new head coach. At the age of 35, Daigneault is currently the youngest active head coach in the NBA, after the Minnesota Timberwolves fired third-year head coach Ryan Saunders on February 21, 2021.[2]

The 2020–21 season was the team's first time since 2014–15 missing the playoffs and their first losing season since 2008–09, the team's inaugural season in Oklahoma City. It was also the fourth time under Sam Presti's tenure that the team had missed the playoffs. Power forward Al Horford, who was acquired by the Thunder via trade on December 8, 2020, also missed the playoffs for the first time in his 14-year career.

Previous season

[edit]

The Thunder finished the 2019–20 season 44–28 to finish in second place in the Northwest Division, fifth in the Western Conference and qualified for the playoffs.

After falling to the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2019 NBA playoffs, the Thunder started a rebuilding process following the Paul George and Russell Westbrook trades. In the trades, the Thunder received veteran Chris Paul, promising rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, and seven future first-rounders and four pick swaps. Entering the season, the Thunder were predicted to win 32 games with a 33-49 record projected by ESPN. However, Chris Paul led a resurgence season that featured an All-Star birth and led the Thunder to a 44-28 record.[3]

Before a March 11 game against the Utah Jazz, Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 prior to tip-off in Oklahoma City. Attendees were told by Chesapeake Energy Arena PA announcer Mario Nanni that the game was postponed "due to unforeseen circumstances", and to safely depart the arena with a reassurance the crowd was "all safe".[4] The league suspended and would not resume play until the 2020 NBA Bubble at Walt Disney World's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on July 22.

In the bubble, the Thunder faced off against former Thunder Russell Westbrook and the Houston Rockets. During the series, undrafted rookie Luguentz Dort was lauded for his defense on James Harden. In game seven, Dort led the Thunder with a 30-point performance including six threes in a 104-102 loss.[5]

1 25 Immanuel Quickley PG  United States Kentucky
2 53 Cassius Winston PG  United States Michigan State
Aleksej Pokuševski, Vít Krejčí, and Théo Maledon were later traded to the Thunder

The Thunder had one first-round pick and one second-round pick entering the draft.[6] The Thunder's own first-round pick was conveyed to the Philadelphia 76ers in the Jerami Grant trade back in 2016.[7] The pick was top-20 protected and was conveyed when Mike Muscala hit a game winner against the Miami Heat in the 2019-20 season.[8] The Thunder acquired a first-round pick from the Denver Nuggets in the Jerami Grant trade back in 2020.[9]

On draft night, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Cassius Winston, the 53rd pick, and a 2024 second-round pick to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Admiral Schofield and the draft rights to Vít Krejčí, the 37th pick.[10] The Thunder also acquired the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, the 28th pick, and Danny Green in the Dennis Schroder.[11]

Two days later, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Immanuel Quickley, the 25th pick, to the New York Knicks, and the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, the 28th pick, to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three-team trade where the Thunder acquired the draft rights to Aleksej Pokuševski, the 17th pick, James Johnson, and a 2024 second-round pick via MIN.[12] On December 8, the Thunder acquired the draft rights to Théo Maledon, the 34th pick, draft rights to Vasilije Micić, Al Horford and a 2025 first-round pick from the Philadelphia 76ers.[13]

The Thunder, after the 2020 NBA draft night and the conclusion of player acquisitions and transactions, ended with Olympiacos forward Aleksej Pokuševski, ASVEL Villerbaunne guard Théo Maledon, and Casademont Zaragoza guard Vít Krejčí.[14][15]

Trades

[edit]
The Thunder traded four veterans to start the rebuild.

The Thunder started this offseason to reposition and rebuild for the future after a surprising 2019-20 season that saw a playoff appearance following the trades of Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

On November 16, the Thunder traded All-Star Chris Paul and Abdel Nader to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ty Jerome, Jalen Lecque, Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio and a 2022 first-round pick.[16] Paul had a resurgent season during the 2019-20 season, reclaiming his reputation as "Point God," taking the Thunder to a surprising playoff appearance in the 2020 NBA Playoffs. The Thunder began the season with a "0.2%" chance to make the playoffs prior to the start of the season. Paul was named an All-Star and was named to All-NBA Second Team for the first time since 2016. Sam Presti worked with Paul's representatives at CAA to allow Paul to his preferred destination.[17]

We want to thank Chris for the contributions he has made to the Thunder and the Oklahoma City community both this season and during his initial tenure in 2005-06 with the Hornets. Chris has been the consummate leader and has left a tremendous legacy in a short period of time. We wish him and Abdel and their families only the best moving forward.[18]

— Sam Presti

On draft night November 18, the Thunder traded Dennis Schröder to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Danny Green and the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, the twenty-eighth pick. Schröder led the league in points scored off the bench and finished second in NBA Sixth Man of the Year voting.[19] A day later on November 19, the Thunder traded a protected 2021 second-round pick to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Vincent Poirier in an effort to use his salary in a bigger trade.[20][21] The same day, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Cassius Winston, the fifty-third pick, and a 2024 second-round pick to the Washington Wizards in exchange for the draft rights to Vít Krejčí and Admiral Schofield.[22] On December 18, the Thunder waived Admiral Schofield.[23] Two days later on November 20, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels and Ricky Rubio to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three team trade, for the draft rights to Aleksej Pokuševski, the seventeenth pick, James Johnson and a 2024 second-round pick. The Thunder also traded the draft rights to Immanuel Quickley, the twenty-fifth pick, to the New York Knicks as part of the three team trade.[24]

On November 22, the Thunder traded Kelly Oubre Jr., originally acquired from the Suns, to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for a protected 2021 first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick via DEN.[25] The first-round pick acquired was top-20 protected by Golden State and will be converted into two second-round picks if not conveyed.[26]

George Hill

On November 24, the Thunder traded Steven Adams to the New Orleans Pelicans in a four team trade, for George Hill from Milwaukee, Zylan Cheatham from New Orleans, Josh Gray from New Orleans, Darius Miller from New Orleans, Kenrich Williams from New Orleans, a 2023 first-round pick from Denver, a 2023 second-round pick (via WAS) from New Orleans and a 2024 second-round pick (via CHA) from New Orleans.[27] The Thunder also generated a trade exception worth $27.5 million, the largest in NBA history to date.[28] Adams was the longest tenured player on the roster since being drafted back in 2013.

Steven Adams will hold a special place in our organizational legacy. On and off the floor, Steven contributed to our teams and community in unique ways and his place in Thunder history is secured.[29]

— Sam Presti

On December 1 and December 2, the Thunder waived Josh Gray and Zylan Cheatham.[30][31] The same day on November 24, the Thunder signed-and-traded Danilo Gallinari and cash considerations to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a protected 2025 second-round pick while generating another trade exception worth $19.5 million.[32][33]

Al Horford

On November 25, the Thunder traded Jalen Lecque, originally acquired from the Suns, to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for T. J. Leaf and a 2027 second-round pick.[34] On December 18, the Thunder waived T. J. Leaf.[35] On November 27, the Thunder traded James Johnson, originally acquired from the Timberwolves in a three team trade, for Trevor Ariza from Detroit, Justin Jackson from Dallas, a 2023 second-round pick (best of DAL or MIA) from Dallas and a 2026 second-round pick from Dallas.[36] Ariza would never report to the Thunder while attending to personal issues that kept him out of the 2020 NBA Playoffs.[37]

On December 8, the Thunder traded Terrance Ferguson, Danny Green, originally acquired from the Lakers, and Vincent Poirier, originally acquired from the Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Al Horford, the draft rights to Théo Maledon, the thirty-fourth pick, the draft rights to Vasilije Micić, the fifty-second pick in the 2014 NBA draft, and a 2025 first-round pick.[38] Horford, who signed a four-year, $109 million deal, did not fit with Joel Embiid saw his role diminished and was eventually removed from the starting lineup. Micic was a second-round pick in 2014 was named to a second-team All-EuroLeague selection in 2019.

At the end of offseason, the Thunder accumulated 17 first-round picks through the 2026 NBA draft.[39]

Free agency

[edit]

For this offseason, free agency began on November 20, 2020, while the moratorium ended on November 22. Deonte Burton, Danilo Gallinari, Devon Hall, Kevin Hervey, Nerlens Noel and Andre Roberson were set to hit free agency. On September 21, Kevin Hervey signed a contract with the Russian team Lokomotiv Kuban of the VTB United League.[40] Hervey was originally set to reach free agency in fall but the Thunder let him out of his contract early to be lined up with an international team.[41] On November 20, it was reported that Danilo Gallinari agreed to a three-year, $61.5 million deal with the Atlanta Hawks, which he later signed on November 24.[42] The Thunder negotiated a sign-and-trade deal to acquire a protected 2025 second-round pick and generating a trade exception.[43] On November 21, it was reported that Nerlens Noel agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Knicks, which he later signed on November 25.[44] Burton, Hall and Roberson who were not re-signed, joined the Maine Celtics of the NBA G League, Brose Bamberg and the Brooklyn Nets respectively.

On December 9, Moses Brown and Josh Hall both signed a two-way contract with the Thunder, splitting time with the Thunder and the Oklahoma City Blue. Brown spent the 2019-20 season with the Portland Trail Blazers. Hall came undrafted out of Moravian Prep high school out of Hudson, North Carolina.[45]

Front office and coaching changes

[edit]

After the Thunder's defeat in the 2020 NBA Playoffs, head coach Billy Donovan and the Thunder mutually agreed to part ways on September 8, 2020, after five seasons with the team. Donovan was named head coach of the Thunder on April 30, 2015, taking over for Scott Brooks after the 2014-15 season. Donovan accumulated a 243-157 (.608) record with playoff appearances in each season, including a trip to the Western Conference Finals during the 2016 NBA Playoffs.[46] Donovan was also named co-recipient of the 2020 NBCA Coach of the Year.[47]

On November 11, the Thunder hired Mark Daigneault, an assistant since last season, as head coach. Daigneault became the fourth head coach of the Thunder since moving to Oklahoma City. Daigneault spent five seasons as the head coach of the Oklahoma City Blue accumulating three consecutive division titles and four playoff appearances including a franchise-record 34 wins.[48]

On November 25, the Thunder announced Mike Wilks, Dave Bliss, David Akinyooye, Mike Miller as assistant coaches and Zach Peterson and Kameron Woods as player development coaches. Miller joins the Thunder after serving as interim head coach of the New York Knicks. Woods joins the Thunder after serving two seasons as an assistant coach for the Oklahoma City Blue.[49]
