Of all the players that came through the turnstile during the rebuild, Ty Jerome is the one that I think could still be of use on this current team. A guard who can play-make and make shots from outside. We are Ty Jerome days from the Thunder playing their first game of the season.

I really thought the experiment was going to work. For the early part of the 22-23 season, it looked like Aleksej Pokusevski had finally found his role on the team. Then a broken leg gave J-Will time to develop & the rest is history. We are Poku days from OKC playing their 1st game of the season.

Georgios Kalaitzakas played in OKC's final 4 games in 2022, even playing the full 48 in one of them. He averaged 17.5 pts, 5.3 rebs, 3 asts, and 2.8 stls on 46/36/48 shooting splits. We never heard from "George" ever again. We are Georgios Kalaitzakas days from the Thunder playing their first game.

Chapter 19. The previous 18 chapters have given us memories, MVPs, playoff battles, Finals appearances, a championship, triumph, tragedy, heartbreak, and celebration. Here’s to what’s ahead. We are Chapter 19 days from the Thunder playing their first game of the season.

Over the weekend, Isaiah Hartenstein surprised a local family with a gift. Hartenstein visited the Woodson Park Boys & Girls Clubs of Oklahoma County to personally deliver a new car to the family. Hartenstein said he wanted to donate the car to make transportation easier & safer for the family.

Jared McCain, along with his best friend & current videographer Nate Thai, have partnered up with Hinge on their new "How We Friend" campaign. Male loneliness is a big issues in men’s mental health. This campaign highlights the small moves that build big friendships, especially in this day and age.

It's very rare that a organization is able to transition from 1 legend to another in such quick succession. But OKC has seen 3 MVP winners & a championship in the past decade. Going from Russ to SGA in a decade is the exception, not the rule. We are SGA & Russ days from OKC playing their 1st game.

Over the weekend, Chet Holmgren, in partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield, dedicated a new basketball court & outdoor space to the Neighborhood Services Organization’s Carolyn Williams Center, which provides transitional housing to unhoused young men between the ages of 18 and 23.

The Speech “they tried to call us “the black hole of the NBA.” But 4 yrs later, when they mention the Thunder organization, & Clay Bennett, & Sam Presti, & Mark Daigneault, and all of you…THEY GOTTA MENTION YOU AS NBA CHAMPS!” We are Aaron Wiggins day from OKC playing their 1st game of the season.

Pay. The. Man. We are Cason Wallace days from the Thunder playing their first game.

Good positional size.Good rebounder for his position.Tools to be a good defender. Hard-nosed. Tough. But a mess offensively. Has to be more decisive w/ a quicker trigger. OKC has given him 1 more season to become an NBA player. We are Brooks Barnhizer days from the Thunder playing their first game.

Thunder GM Sam Presti attended the Wu-Tang concert at the Winstar World Casino in Thackerville, OK with Oklahoma rapper/entrepreneur Jabee.

We knew it was a slight gimmick. How can you entice fans to come see a team that wasn't theirs? One solution: bring in one of their college legends. On Oct. 26th, 2005, the NO/OKC Hornets traded for Desmond Mason. We are Desmond Mason (on the Hornets) days from the Thunder playing their first game.

Here's the transaction chain that got Ajay Mitchell to OKC: OKC trades Lindy Waters III to GSW for pick #52. OKC trades pick #52 & cash to POR for pick #40. OKC trades pick #40 & cash to NYK for pick #38 (Ajay Mitchell). Got their man! We are Ajay Mitchell days from OKC playing their first game.

Batman & the Joker No superhero has more consistencies & redundancies than Batman. The same can be said for SGA. No matter what the defense throws at him, SGA usually has an answer for it. The Joker smiles big & so does J-Will. We are SGA and J-Will days from the Thunder playing their first game.

On Tuesday, Chet Holmgren hosted a Champions of the Classroom dinner to show appreciation to educators. He took photos, gave away raffle prizes, & had conversations w/ them about their classroom needs. Teachers in attendance walked away w/ a gift bag & a gift card to help support their classrooms.

Probably the first "who?" of the rebuild. It was the 2020 NBA draft & OKC was entrenched in starting their rebuild. Krejci was coming in w/ a torn ACL. Became our first redshirt rookie. He’s had a pretty good career since then. We are Vit Krejci days from OKC playing their first game of the season.

The Package The PG trade package continues to be the thing of nightmares for the Clippers' organization. But for OKC, it started with two players (SGA and Gallinari) and a bunch of unrealized draft picks. We are SGA and Gallo days from the Thunder playing their first game of the season.

Every game we see remnants of OKC’s past. Collison, Nazr Mohammed, Eric Maynor. But Mike Wilks was the 1st player to accept a position as a scout under OKC’s initiative to help create jobs for ex-players in off-court careers. We are Mike Wilks days from the OKC playing their 1st game of the season.

Olivier Sarr was w/ OKC for 3 seasons, either w/ the Thunder or the Blue. His time with the team ended in bittersweet fashion. He tore his Achilles in the deciding game of the 2024 G-League Final as the Blue won the title. We are Olivier Sarr days from OKC playing their first game of the season.

The 2014-15 season. KD & Russ out w/ injuries. We signed Sebastian Telfair to bring some steady guard play & veteran leadership. Yeah, that lasted all of 16 games & Bassy was never back in the NBA after that. Anyways, we're Sebastian Telfair days from OKC playing their first game of the season.

There’s no way to gauge the impact CP3 had on SGA in their one season together. But you can definitely see it in the game. Mid-range king. Getting to his spots. Playing at his own pace. All reminiscent of CP3’s game. We are CP3 and SGA days away from the Thunder playing their first game.

Muscala gave OKC a glimpse of what kind of big man would work best with star guard SGA. The high pick and roll action between SGA and Moose has never been replicated as efficiently with any other big man OKC has had, to include Chet. We are Mike Muscala days away from OKC playing their first game.

Back in 2020, we traded fan favorite Steven Adams to NO for some trade filler guys and some guy named Kenrich Williams. Well, 6 years later, that man is still on the team, revered as the team unc and the man that sets the tone. We are Kenny Hustle days from the Thunder playing their first game.

Look, I get it. This was my chance to stick it to the man. Show PJ Dozier in the #35 jersey & call it a day. But, KD was our first love. Our 1st superstar, MVP, & unfortunately, heartbreak. But I’d say we’ve recovered fine. We’re Kevin Durant days away from the Thunder playing their first game.

The Cheesn’ Bros We once had the ‘Stache Bros. And the championship team had one Cheeser 😁 in Jaylin Williams. But the acquisition of Jared McCain last season turned that solo act into a duo. We are Jared McCain and Jaylin Williams days away from the Thunder playing their first game.

Flashback to after the trade deadline in 2012. OKC is looking like a contender. They had an open roster spot & went buy-out market fishing. Who’d they catch that year? None other there than 5-time champ Derek Fisher. We are Derek Fisher days away from OKC playing their first game of the season.
