The Oklahoma City Thunder’s proximity to the luxury tax won’t stop them from trying to make moves in free agency. First up, according to The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski, is Rudy Gay: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/880419815428681728] Gay and the Thunder have been linked before, prior to his Achilles injury. His development as a spot-up shooter makes him an [...]

Andre Roberson is going to be one of this summer’s most fascinating restricted free agents. Unlike Otto Porter and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, he doesn’t have a defined max-contract value. He’s more Tim Hardaway and Tony Snell, only more so, because he’s elite in one area (defense). Will that be enough to land him near-max offer sheets [...]

In the aftermath of their first-round exit at the hands of the Houston Rockets, the Oklahoma City Thunder have a bunch of questions to answer. Chief among them: What to do with restricted free agent Andre Roberson? That question, to some extent, has already been answered. The Thunder want to keep him, per ESPN.com’s Royce [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s season is over, but Russell Westbrook’s time with the team is not. Nor does he sound like a player who wants it to be. Westbrook cannot explore free agency until 2018 (player option), so with regard to next season, the issue is kind of moot. But he will be eligible to [...]

Many people have floated the idea that Blake Griffin would consider signing with the Oklahoma City Thunder when he reaches free agency this summer. He was born in Oklahoma City, attended high school in Oklahoma and went to the University of Oklahoma. The hometown ties are there. But Griffin, who will miss the rest of [...]

We are all aware of Russell Westbrook’s mind-numbing resume for MVP this season as he is averaging a triple-double (31-10-10) and has an incredible 35 triple-doubles thus far this season. While that more than speaks for itself, some of his teammates are still doing their part to campaign for their leader for the NBA’s top [...]

Even those who poke fun at Andre Roberson’s complete lack of shooting cannot deny he’s a terrific perimeter defender. He assumes the toughest assignments on a regular basis, and yet he seldom gets torched. Oklahoma City Thunder coach Billy Donovan doesn’t think we talk about this impact enough. In fact, he thinks Roberson belongs in [...]

With James Harden checking in as an MVP favorite for 2016-17, he hasn’t been linked so strongly to Russell Westbrook since the two played together with the Oklahoma City Thunder. And yes, for the record, he does miss those days. As Harden told ESPN’s Hannah Storm, per Erik Horne of the Oklahoman: Harden, now battling Russell [...]

Learn from Enes Kanter, kids: Never punch a chair really ridiculously hard. During the Oklahoma City Thunder’s Thursday night win over the Dallas Mavericks, Kanter was unhappy with a foul call and proceeded to punch a chair on the sidelines, with some serious windup: [tweet https://twitter.com/TheCrossover/status/824808897701670912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Kanter didn’t return to the game due to a [...]

Rudy Gay and the Oklahoma City Thunder have been linked to another since before the start of the 2016-17 season. Oklahoma City lost Kevin Durant over the summer and needs another scorer who can also get buckets from three-point range off the catch to pair with Russell Westbrook. Gay has a player option for next [...]
