The San Antonio Spurs aren’t going anywhere — at least not anytime soon.
Victor Wembanyama is 22 years old and might already be the best player on the planet. Stephon Castle (21) and Dylan Harper (20) are emerging stars. And the Spurs have just dethroned the Oklahoma City Thunder after going into their house and stunning them in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals.

This is the new reality facing the Thunder. When a young team goes on to win the NBA Finals ahead of schedule like they did last season, it becomes championship or bust.
The thornier complications are financial, and Thunder executive vice president and general manager Sam Presti will need to be creative to juggle this roster.
Yet, to be clear, the goal here should be to keep this core intact as much as possible.
