We are only one week away from the OKC Thunder's opening night game in San Antonio as they look for revenge against the Spurs.

Although we are only 7 days away from that game, a lot of questions still surround this team. I went through the Thunder's 14-man roster, including Otega Oweh on his 2-way deal, and then a few team-wide questions as we get ready for what should be another awesome season for the Thunder in 2026-2027.

What other big questions do you have, and did I miss any big questions for this team? Let me know!

Welcome to another episode of the Let's Talk Thunder Podcast! Michael Martin is joined by Locked on Thunder's Rylan Stiles for another Stiles Saturday pod, where they do a deep dive into 10 Thunder basketball lineups, including building OKC's death lineup and tons of other fun 5-man unit combinations.

Whether it be the big 3 of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren, and assumed starters Cason Wallace and Isaiah Hartenstein, or new combinations we have yet to see, like including Aday Mara, who has broken out in OKC Thunder preseason play, the possibilities are pretty much endless!

Michael and Rylan go through 10 different lineups, with the only rule being you can't use the same player more than 3 times, which led to some fun, interesting, and unique Thunder looks and lineups that we hope to see Mark Daigneault experiment with this season.

Let us know your favorite lineup we mentioned, and any 5-man unit we may have missed that you are excited to see!
