The Oklahoma City Thunder professional basketball team has had a very interesting and eventful offseason. During this offseason they have traded away both of their best players and have completely started to rebuild. Using these trades, they were able to get a couple decent players in return but the main part of the trades were the draft picks that they received. In the upcoming years the OKC Thunder have 17 first round picks which is an insane number of future firsts to have. With the number of picks that they have acquired it shouldn’t take all that long for them to be back in the playoff race. OKC still has a few decent assets on the roster that they may try to move and turn them into more draft picks, or potentially keep and try and build around those pieces for the for seeable future. With how wide open the league is this year there are many teams that have shots to make the playoffs and the finals as well. OKC most likely wont be one of those teams for at least a few years. A possible thing that they could do also is try and trade all their picks and try to pick up a young star or an established superstar but they would be a longshot due to the fact that they had 2 superstars and traded them away.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
