Training camp started on Tuesday to usher in the second season of Thunder basketball.  While a minor trade (perhaps Brent Barry from Houston) might occur, or a rookie in camp could grab a roster spot, the team is pretty much set.  Gone from last season’s final roster will be: Desmond Mason Malik Rose Robert Swift Earl […]

On Tuesday, the NBA released the 2009/10 schedule and answered many of the questions we have been asking. When does J.J. Redick come to town? This is the most pressing question to every true NBA fan in Oklahoma City.  When will former Duke star and the guy who I would pay to watch shoot free […]

When the Supersonics fired their former general manager, Rick Sund, I remember being very excited about the prospect of SamPresti being the guy in charge of basketball operations when the team moved here.  The guy, who graduated high school only one year before I did, was a wunderkind who was credited with convincing the San […]

I have made it no secret that the Thunder drafting him would not be welcomed by me.  While […]

The slate of Thunder games in Oklahoma City is over and now the city gets to experience its first off-season with long term consequences.  Back when I was the “HornetsCentral GM”, I wrote about the off season in which the Hornets drafted Hildric Simstrong, signed Peja Stojakovic, and traded for Tyson Chandler.  Analyzing those moves […]

The first season of Thunder basketball is a wrap and it would be a mistake to label it as anything other than a success.  Sure, the 23-59 record was tough to watch unfolding, but people did.  In an economic situation that witnessed something like 75% of the league’s franchise hemorrhage money and a half dozen […]

With only five games remaining in the season, the Thunder have hit a new stage.  Not the wins and losses have mattered much since the 1-13 start basically ended any hope of the team competing for the playoffs, but after a long and trying year, these last weeks will feature the starters thinking ahead to […]
