Chris Paul is probably disappointed Carmelo Anthony didn’t end up on the Houston Rockets, but he seems more annoyed that his friend isn’t viewed more favorably outside immediate NBA circles. Paul was asked about Anthony ahead of the Rockets’ matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder, because, obviously. And, naturally, he jumped to Melo’s defense, per [...]

Maybe we’ll get to see more than one season’s worth of this Oklahoma City Thunder squad after all. General manager Sam Presti has been rightfully lauded for piecing together a Big Three of Paul George, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook, seemingly on the fly. But this troika is viewed by many as a one-year placeholder. [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have already done what the New York Knicks never could, or never wanted to, or never realized they should have done: officially move Carmelo Anthony to the power forward position. Best of all, the Thunder have the 10-time All-Star’s blessing to do it, per ESPN.com’s Royce Young: “I’ve been playing the [...]

Contrary to popular belief, Paul George does not have one leg in his Oklahoma City Thunder gym shorts, the other in a pair of Los Angeles Lakers garb.

Is it officially, maybe, possibly time to add a third team to the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes? Apparently yes. And it’s not the Portland Trail Blazers. It’s the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to The Ringer’s Bill Simmons: [tweet https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/889512805254045696] Looking at the Thunder makes sense for Anthony. They have Paul George and Russell Westbrook, two stars [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are having one hell of an offseason. First they landed Paul George from the Indiana Pacers for 30 to 50 cents on the dollar. Since then, they’ve added Patrick Patterson to one of the best deals in the league, re-signed Andre Roberson to a team-friendly three-year, $30 million deal and (marginally) [...]

Through all the waves that have reverberated across the NBA over the past few weeks with the NBA Draft and free agency, none was bigger and more shocking than the Oklahoma City Thunder coming out of nowhere to land Paul George in a trade (how can you not be im-Presti with Sam?). George was expected [...]

The 2017 NBA off-season madness has taken over the social media world and sports fans across the country yet again! (Easily the best off-season in sports).
