Oklahoma City Thunder
happy DisplayOklahoma City! today , thunder They celebrated their title with the fans of their hometown, one of my favorite sport and more than that for cities that have close ties with their teams.
Thunder lovers not only celebrate hero. They celebrate Great team all the time. Brad Potkin Dove in the numbers, including …
- Potkin: “+1,247 – This was the total difference of the point in Oklahoma City for the regular and the combined posteason, and it is also recorded in the American Professional League. This number included: 63 wins at at least 10 points (most of them in the history of the American Professional League); 40 wins at least 15 points (most of them in the history of the American Professional League); 12 wins at least 30 points (most of them in the history of the American Professional League); 4 winning at least 30 points (most in the history of the American Professional League). “
Of course, starting from now, thunder has a goal on his back. Sam Queen evaluated The largest competitors of the Oklahoma City breed ascendingAnd the number 1 is not a team or one player but …
- Queen: “chaos — The world is a random and chaotic place. Basketball shows that it is more than any other sport. … Chit Holmegren It is the risk of long -term injury, and Teres Haleporton It is a blatant reminder how It can change one injury quickly and destroy the team’s path. Giline Williams and Gilgos Alexander tea It does not seem to be, but it was not Jason Tatum Before it comes down. … I don’t know what will threaten thunder at the end. No one does. Just that history says it will be something. “
For this reason, I encourage thunder lovers to embrace this. You cannot control the future. But you can control how you are estimated here and now.

Divin Booker and Vinix Suns
Amid NBA Sunday game at all, which included thunderThe title of the American Professional League and Kevin Durant Trade, we did not have much space to talk about the team that sent Durant to Houston: Make up.
Phoenix is a difficult spot. Really difficult. Durant kept all the cards in his deal, part of the reason why Phoenix returned. certainly, Gallin Green It can really register, Delon Brooks Stelter is a great tone, and selection number 10 in this draft can be a strong contributor. But there is a reason This trade looks worse for Phenix whenever you search for itJames Herbert explained. Well, three reasons specifically, all since 2023 immediately Ishubia died Control:
- Sanz has been traded Michal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jay Krauder And the four choices of the first round and the exchange of selection to Window In Durant.
- After the season ended with the loss of the second round, the Sanz was circulated Chris Paul, Landri Shamit, Five options in the second round in the future and four selection bodies in Bradley Bell deal.
- They were also circulated Jusuf Nurkic and Tomani Camara to Gresson Allen, Nasser Little and Keon Johnson As part of the deal that was sent Damian Lilly to Dollars.
It is impossible to rehabilitate any of this victory, and the first two losses of epic proportions were.
And now there Divin Booker I left. Yasmine Wimbish says Booker has all the right to request his own trade.
Place the bow on the Durant trade, I also liked the diagnoses of Sam What is the next for the teams that were absent from Durant. This includes a team in its new condition.
- Queen: “Tottenham – They have two lottery choices in Wednesday’s draft. They will take Dylan Harper In second place. In an ideal world, they may prefer to do it with No. 14 what they did with No. 8 last year: trading it for more future assets. … still is very flexible from the perspective of the cover. … some shooting will be nice after ranked twenty -ranked 3 percent a year ago. They have more than enough space to sign a free agent in this way, then they work in the trade market without fear of paying the tax. “

We knew Celx From 2025-26 it will look completely different from Celtics in the past two seasons, and this process began seriously late on Monday night, with Boston send Jrue holiday to Blazrez trail to Anfirni Simmons A pair of the second round choices in the future.
The feast, 35, was an essential part of the CelTics 2024 title, but there were several reasons for taking CELTICS to do this step:
- Eid makes $ 5 million than Simons this season and has three years more expensive. Simons has expiration contract.
- CELTICS is still about $ 18 million over the second apron, but they hope to get less of this entire line. More deals are coming.
- Simons, 26, is the youngest of nearly a decade of holidays, which scored his lowest points on average since he was rising and played in only 62 games.
Although it is not a defender’s holiday, Simon is an explosive top scorer (19.3 PPG in 2024-25) that can create for himself, and most importantly, to be part of the next Celks essence in the coming years if he is playing well in the next season with Tatome. If not? He is in a expired deal.
as, Celkus went out in front of Sam’s commercial degreesHe is also asking about what Plies saw in this step.
- Queen: “the thunder Do not go anywhere. the Missiles Just trading to Kevin Durant. the Lakes You will get a center. the Warriors You have an improvement in improvement. the Cleibers It was just a big -renal season. Nicolas Gokic is still residing in Denver. the Timberwolves The Western Conference Finals were made back. And if all this is not enough, Victor and Yumanama Are you waving on the horizon … the jacket is … perhaps a theater team? “

With the American Professional League draft a day later, Adam Fenkenstein The last fake draft receipt. We all know about Cooper Flage to Mavrex In No. 1, and Dylan Harper It is preferred to go No. 2 to San Antonio, as mentioned above. So let’s start in third place, as plots (likely) begin.
- 3. 76ers: SG Tre Johnson, Texas
- 4. Hornz: SG VJ Edgecombe
- 5. Jazz Music: SF Kon Knuepet, Duke
- 6. Processors: SF Ace Bailey, Rutgers
- 7. P it
We see Billy fall here after a A shaky process (to put it well) From not working with the teams looking for his required fitness. It is an enormous talent, and where it lands the biggest story.
As for men under Radar, Kyle Bon Five sleepers can rise their sharesIt includes …
- Bonn: “SF Drake Powell, North Carolina – I still believe in Powell’s talent … and the peripheral devices in his profile are very encouraging. It was eighty -first on the chances of hunting and lead in UNC and was classified in the 84th centenary on the end of the edge. … all the time that he routinely blew up the plays at the end of the defensive end with its energy and infectious enthusiasm as a wing weapon. I buy all Powell’s shares and I think it will be theft if it falls anywhere in the twenties. “
