But he will never play for the Thunder (injured shoulder). And more than likely will not be renewed due to team option. He was traded for Trever Ariza and the Thunder receives a draft pick.

he is not even reporting to the thunder

Pause the Game

Forgive me, but I can't stand this two headed snake who's venom is lethal from both heads (Kevin Durant), or his partner in crime (James 'bobble-head' Harden). Wish them the best of luck; however I'm pulling for their opponents.

Impressive, the variety of players in the Brooklyn Nets-Milwaukee Bucks game that have Thunder or University of Oklahoma ties.

One of my aunts (who loved NBA basketball) use to get so tickled over Payne & Westbrook.

Aunt Alberta (God rest her soul) use to always say, 'Honey get it on, look at the punk sisters...'

Best of luck, Cameron Payne (Phoenix Suns)...

[CCOKC]

Cam had such a good game the other night. I am rooting for him.

Have a better feeling about Coach Mark Daignault; seems to know the game and his knowledge and skill set has translated to the NBA environment.

Anxious to see our picks July 29th, 7 p.m., ESPN ABC at #6, 16 & #18, second round #34, #36, #55. Also, what's this about we could still move up--someone explain.

Are there anymore Donovan Mitchell's or Luguentz Dort's hidden out there...

Could move up or down via trade. Although moving up would likely require multiple picks + Bazley or Dort. Could also move up by taking a bad contract, but not sure I see Presti doing that. Already have Kemba’s which ain’t great. Hopefully we move him.

Thanks for the explanation. Trust that Sam Presti will find something that fits this team's current character at #6, #16 & #18 for Shai, Blazley & Dort. Like the direction of the Thunder refresh...

I guess I thought the Thunder recently got rid of their requirements, has this flipped back or am I mistaken what they changed? Haven't been to a game since pre-covid and probably going to go in the next few months.

The proof of vaccination / negative test requirement was dropped as of 12/1.

[G.Walker]

My family and I went to the Thunder vs Nuggets game last week, and we didn't have to show proof of anything.

[Zuplar]

Thanks I thought that was right, but questioned after Larmie posted. He must be referencing old info.

Yes they did make updates on December 1, 2021 IIRC. Out of date information reported...

As we discussed the statistics and vaccination rates with health officials and reviewed our protocols, we decided to lift our vaccination/testing requirements. Effective with the Dec. 1 home game, we no longer require proof of vaccination or testing to attend games, nor require children ages 2 to 11 to wear masks.
