Thunder

Worried that the Oklahoma City Thunder might miss out on making the NBA playoffs? Well, don’t be. Because they won’t. Carmelo Anthony says so. From ESPN.com’s Royce Young: “We’ll be there. We’ll be there,” Anthony said Wednesday. “I think we’re confident enough to know that we’ll be there. Where? We’ll see when that time comes, [...]

Kevin Durant isn’t yet done taking aim at those who have criticized him for abandoning the Oklahoma City Thunder and signing with the Golden State Warriors in 2016. His latest troll: A KD 10 colorway with a snake emoji. Here’s a pic: [tweet https://twitter.com/Ballislife/status/976943900903510017?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fhoopshype.com%2Frumors%2F] Sole Collector’s Brandon Richard elaborated on the significance of Durant’s footwear: [...]

Derrick Rose has yet to find another NBA home after being traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Utah Jazz and getting subsequently waived. And he might not get his next opportunity until 2018-19. Bleacher Report’s Ken Berger staged a fantastic deep dive into Rose’s status within the NBA, both immediately and long term. Among [...]

More than six months after trading Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers are, relative to expectations, sitting rather pretty. They have a firm hold on an Eastern Conference playoff spot, plenty of salary-cap flexibility and, ostensibly, three legitimate building blocks in All-Star Victor Oladipo, Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. It seems [...]

Rodney Hood is drawing no shortage of interest on the trade market. With the Utah Jazz seemingly not-so-thrilled about footing the bill for his next contract, the 25-year-old continues to be one of the most talked-about names on the NBA’s chopping block. Leading into Thursday’s deadline, no fewer than five teams are trying to land [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t exactly played up to their or anybody else’s expectation thus far at 22-18 through 40 games. It has taken some time for the Thunder to effectively integrate their two star additions from the 2017 off-season: Carmelo Anthony and Paul George. While both are set to be free agents in the [...]

Playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as we know, was not Carmelo Anthony’s first choice. His list of preferred trade destinations initially included the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets, before eventually, at one time, consisting only of the latter. As time went on and the New York Knicks neared training camp, though, he opened his [...]

Paul George remains a hot topic within the NBA’s rumor mill, and that’s not going to change unless the Oklahoma City Thunder figure out the shaky dynamic between him, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook. Though they’ve won seven of their past 10 games, people remain unimpressed with the Thunder. They follow up convincing victories over [...]

Paul George has been way more open than most NBA players about his desires in his upcoming free agency and his dream to play for his hometown team: the Los Angeles Lakers. George made this abundantly clear to the Indiana Pacers, but at least did so with enough time for the Pacers to deal George [...]

Victor Oladipo would like for us to maybe, quite possibly, if we could, stop talking about the winners and losers of the trade that sent him from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Paul George. Speaking candidly, there’s about zero chance of that happening—especially now. Oladipo and and George are [...]
