The 2013–14 Oklahoma City Thunder season is the 6th season of the franchise in Oklahoma City and the 48th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Despite Russell Westbrook missing 36 games during the season, The Thunder managed to finish the season with 59 wins and 23 losses, earning them the second seed in the Western Conference.

In the playoffs, the Thunder faced the Memphis Grizzlies, the team that defeated them in five games in last season's Semi-finals, in the First Round and won in seven games, then defeated the Los Angeles Clippers in six games in the Semi-finals, before losing to the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs in six games in the conference finals.

Previous season[edit]

The Thunder finished the 2012–13 season 60–22 to finish in first place in the Northwest Division, first in the Western Conference and qualified for the playoffs. Last season featured Russell Westbrook tearing his lateral meniscus following a collision with Patrick Beverley in game two against the Houston Rockets in the first round. The Thunder ended up defeating the Rockets in six before falling to the Memphis Grizzlies in the second round in five games.[1]

Offseason[edit]

Draft picks[edit]

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College/Club team
1 12 Steven Adams C  New Zealand Pittsburgh
1 29 Archie Goodwin SG  United States Kentucky
2 32 Alex Abrines SG  Spain FC Barcelona
Andre Roberson and Grant Jerrett were later traded to the Thunder

The Thunder had two first-round picks and one second-round pick entering the draft.[2] The Thunder owned one first-round pick entering the 2013 NBA draft lottery. The pick originated from the Toronto Raptors before being traded to the Houston Rockets in the Kyle Lowry trade. The Rockets then traded the pick to the Thunder in the James Harden trade back in 2012.[3][4] The Thunder ended the night with the twelfth overall pick with only a 2.5% chance into moving into the top three. The Thunder also acquired a second-round pick from the Harden trade that ended up as the thirty-second pick, via the Bobcats.[5] The Thunder traded their 2013 second-round pick in the Robert Vaden trade back in 2011.[6]

On draft night, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Archie Goodwin, the twenty-ninth pick, and cash considerations to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for the draft rights to Andre Roberson, the twenty-sixth pick. The Thunder also traded for the draft rights to Grant Jerrett, the fortieth pick, from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for cash considerations.[7]

The Thunder ended 2013 NBA draft night with Pittsburgh center Steven Adams, Colorado guard Andre Roberson, FC Barcelona guard Alex Abrines and Arizona forward Grant Jerrett.[8]

Kevin Martin was signed-and-traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Trades[edit]

On June 27, the Thunder traded the draft rights to Archie Goodwin, the twenty-ninth pick, and cash considerations to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andre Roberson, the twenty-sixth pick. The same day, the Thunder traded cash considerations to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Grant Jerrett, the fortieth pick.[9]

On July 11, the Thunder signed-and-traded Kevin Martin and cash considerations to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three-team trade, for the draft rights to Szymon Szewczyk from Milwaukee.[10] The Thunder also generated a trade exception worth $7 million.[11]

Free agency[edit]

For this offseason, free agency began on July 1, 2013, while the July moratorium ended on July 10. Ronnie Brewer, Derek Fisher and Kevin Martin were set to hit unrestricted free agency. On July 2, it was reported that Kevin Martin agreed to a four-year, $28 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, which he later signed on July 11.[12] The Thunder negotiated a sign-and-trade to generate a trade exception.[13] On July 24, Derek Fisher agreed to a new contract to stay with the Thunder. Sam Presti called Fisher "a valuable member of our team and we are excited to have him back. He has such a positive impact on his teammates and the organization.”[14] On August 28, Ronnie Brewer signed a deal with the Houston Rockets.[15]

On August 7, Ryan Gomes signed a deal with the Thunder. Gomes spent seven season in the NBA before playing internationally with the Artland Dragons in the ProA league.[16]

Front office and coaching changes[edit]

On May 15, Thunder assistant Maurice Cheeks was hired as the head coach of the Detroit Pistons. Cheeks served as an assistant coach for the Thunder for four seasons. Cheeks helped guide the Thunder to four playoff appearances, a finals appearance and an overall 212-100 (.707) record.[17]

On July 31, the Thunder announced Robert Pack and Mike Terpstra as assistant coaches. Pack joins the Thunder after serving three seasons as the assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. Terpstra joins the Thunder after twenty years of experience in different capacities at the college, junior college and high school levels, with additional experience in the NBA Development League and the CBA.[18]
