As the Oklahoma City Thunder approach the 2024/25 season, key questions revolve around their starting lineup, particularly the roles of Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams are confirmed as starters, with decisions pending on whether Lu Dort or Caruso will start, and whether Hartenstein will start or come off the bench. The Dallas Wings face a tough challenge against the top-seeded New York Liberty; Dallas has struggled this season, sitting 11th in the standings with just nine wins. The Dallas Stars enter their training camp with minimal turnover in their forward positions but have big shoes to fill following Joe Pavelski's retirement. Key returning players include Wyatt Johnston, Roope Hintz, and Jason Robertson. The Dallas Mavericks, following a Finals appearance, have made significant off-season changes, including signing Klay Thompson. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving remain the core of the lineup, with questions around the wing spot and power forward positions.
