The defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder appear headed for a historic season.

And they could top it off next summer with multiple lottery picks.

Talk about an embarrassment of riches.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder are currently 24-1 heading into Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal with the San Antonio Spurs in Las Vegas.

They are the favorite to win the in-season tournament, which also features the Knicks against the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals (5:30, Prime).

The Thunder are on pace for 78-79 victories, shattering the 73-win mark set by the Golden State Warriors in 2015-16.

“It’s hard, man,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said recently. “But I do think they’re capable.”

Green added that the Thunder would need “so many things to go right”

“Health, which they kind of plow right through health, it really don’t matter, it seems,” Green said. “You need a lot of breaks to go your way. But they’re on the right track, and like I said, they’re more than capable.

“I think 73 wins took some years off my life. It’s hard. But, like I said, they’re capable of a lot.”

David Dennis Jr. of Andscape said of the Thunder Friday on SportsCenter: “They’re a 20-point blown lead away from being undefeated through 25 games. They are resting in the fourth quarter, mostly calling Uber Eats most fourth quarters…They will beat you in the first half or in the last few minutes. This team is going to win the Emirates Cup. They’re probably going to win the [NBA] championship. They’re going to win more than 73 games…

“We’re going to be talking about the OKC Thunder as maybe the best single-season team that we have ever seen.”

Oh, and by the way, the future is beyond bright.

Thanks to the L.A. Clippers, the Thunder right now would have the No. 3 pick in next summer’s NBA Draft, which is 6-foot-9 BYU star AJ Dybantsa and his 20.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, per Tankathon.com.

Because of the infamous Paul George trade and other deals made by GM Sam Presti, the Thunder could potentially have up to four or more first-round picks in 2026, including their own pick, the Clippers’ (unprotected), Utah Jazz’s (top-8 protected), Houston Rockets’ (top-4 protected), and the Philadelphia 76ers’ (top-4 protected).

“Presti is playing 3-level chess while the rest of us are playing tic-tac toe,” one NBA executive said.

“He is putting on a masterclass on how to draft well and trade for the perfect pieces to fit around his superstar.”

Settle in, we could be headed for a Thunder dynasty.
