The referees admitted that a shooting foul called on Lonzo Ball Thursday night against the OkC Thunder should not have been called. Ultimately, the bad call didn’t matter as the Lakers went on to win in [...]

Writing thank you notes to an NBA city and its fans after your playing days are over have been common practice in the NBA for star-caliber players for some time.

We never got the impression that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were best friends during their eight years as teammates in OKC, so they certainly aren’t that now.

Even though the Oklahoma City Thunder lost Kevin Durant, they will still need to pay a pretty penny to keep their current core together. Weird, right?

It seems as if a resolution to the Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder conundrum that Kevin Durant’s departure created will be reached semi-soon. The Thunder, naturally, want a commitment from Westbrook, most likely in the form of a contract re-negotiation. They might settle for his verbal pledge, but the commitment itself is key.

Maybe a Russell Westbrook trade is more likely than we thought. It instantly became a possibility after Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors. The Oklahoma City Thunder cannot afford to lose the last of their two top-seven superstars for nothing, and Westbrook will be a free agent in 2017. If they aren’t [...]
