The one thing I'll say is that the Thunder have a more talented roster than the Warriors.

The Thunder have two very good players in Westbrook and Durant, three decent players in Ibaka, Adams, and Roberson, and a bunch of trash like Kanter and Waiters.

They have two top five players in the league. You're underselling Ibaka's ability. He should be able to play amazing pick and roll defense like Green. Kanter comes off the bench. Adams is a really good center too...Anyways, it's my opinion. I think Green and Thompson are overrated as individual players and would look much different on another team.

There are more than five players on a roster.

I'm confused on what you're saying? In the playoffs, teams play an eight man rotation. So I don't agree with your logic. Besides, they have an eight man rotation. They have Waiters, Roberson, Singler, Kanter, Ibaka, Adams, Durant, Westbrook, and lastly Morrow. You're also forgetting that Cameron Payne is a pretty good backup PG and will have a nice future. Pick your 8 players. They look like an amazing roster to me.

I'm saying that the Thunder devote significant minutes to players with negative value such as Kanter and Waiters.  The awesomeness of Durant and Westbrook doesn't make up for that when comparing rosters.
