Never. Durant will never have as much help as the equally worthy players he's sharing this "era" with. KD will end up like all those guys that hate Jordan..... Lebron, Wade, Mello, KOBE, and Rondo will see to it.

they need to fix their front line
i do not see them going anywhere with Jeff green at PF, they need to trade him or move him to 6th man

It's not even that. They don't have an interior presence on offense or defense. inb4 Serg Ibaka is hyped up.
Also, if Westbrook and Harden take the next step, it will be time to pay them and at least one will leave for better offers. (As mentioned, they are small market).
Only way I see them ever winning is if Aldrich turns into something special in the paint. I don't see that happening.

I like OKC.
However, they have to show me that they can be successful when going from being an underdog team to being a favored team.
Then there's injuries, free agency and trades also have to be factored in.
So my answer is never.

In the last 30 years only 8 different teams won the NBA Finals. OKC has to do a lot more to win. In this day and age, you need to build "Super teams" in order to be at least relevant.

They just need a few more pieces (but what team doesn't?
)
But personally I think Durant is in the making to follow Kobe as the best player in the league

I honestly see this team as the new era clippers when they had dmiles,elton,odom,qrich,maggette etc. A bunch of young raw potential that never make it. Iuno why but i see the team in a few yrs imploding and Durant possiblly leaving.

It's very possible that they get stuck with the same results which turns into a rebuilding mode but as long as Durant doesn't go anywhere.. (I don't think he will) he'll be a superstar whos very humble and a good person overall (prob most liked in the league in terms of newer guys) who'll probably be able to haul in more talent if anything..
but to answer the OPs question.. I see them winning at least 1 within the next decade
