Oklahoma City has had a strong start to the season, but could look to improve its roster later in the season after the team's offense has had a few hiccups early in the year.

As expected, the Thunder have been one of the NBA's best teams early in the season. Still, Mark Daigneault's group needs to improve on offense after multiple slow starts to the current campaign.

The team's leading scorer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, is averaging around four fewer points per game on slightly lower effiency than he averaged in 2023-24. Jalen Williams is averaging 19 points per game once again this year, but has seen his field goal percentage drop by over six percent from where it was last season.

With a little less offensive production than the team likely anticipated, Sam Presti and company could be in the trade market before the February deadline to help jumpstart the team's scoring punch. Additionally, Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams and Caruso could all see an uptick in their offensive production at any point, eliminating the team's immediate need for another scorer.
