There no shame in his game, 'Nutcracker' has elevated his game; this leaded practice video will probably
be taken down off the internet.

Forbes release the NBA Team Values for 2022: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeoza...h=68a301761cce

OKC is 24th at 1.875 billion. An increase of 15% from last year. They also have one of the higher operating incomes in the league at 129 million. So doomers may bemoan empty seats as a sign of relocation, but know that the franchise is doing just fine.

Thanks Jake:

Impressive when you consider our MSA population & TV market size--does our TV market include Tulsa, Lawton-Wichita Falls & Ft. Smith...

#24 Oklahoma City Thunder
#25 Orlando Magic
#26 Indiana Pacers
#27 Charlotte Hornets
#28 Minnesota Timberwolves
#29 Memphis Grizzlies
#30 New Orleans Pelicans

Noticed the NBA small markets under 2 million MSA populations like Milwaukee #15 & Utah (Salt Lake City) #19 looked great with
Oklahoma City ahead of Memphis & New Orleans.

Once we are able to secure a replacement arena with the Thunder as anchor tenants, that 'team value' will skyrocket
to the 15-20 range.

Thanks again to our Oklahoma ownership group for making all of this possible for our city & state.

It will also be interesting to see if that helps with revenue when they move away from Bally. More TV providers will have access to a new channel I would expect.

[Prunesmoothie]

Any idea when Thunder move away from Bally Sports? Have a hard time justifying paying an extra $19.99/moth for Bally Sports +. The fans will be back. Thunder just need to get away from the tank narrative, which I fully understand and appreciate. The Thunder schedule is tough enough this year so hopefully we experience a natural tank and get to see everyone play into early spring.

Have there been any arena updates?

Also, curious to when we will have a rebrand. Not sure how far Thunder will go but have seen some very cool ideas out there..

[FighttheGoodFight]

We won't see anything about leaving Bally until next season. Sinclair will have to either sell off the rights back to the NBA or bankrupt. They are loaded with debt so who knows.

i don't think the teams are going to leave bally ...

the NBA and MLB and maybe NHL will likely buy bally ... and rebrand it ... and then hopefully they can get better distribution ..

Steve Nash was fired from the Brooklyn Nets. Maybe the Thunder should consider him as the next head coach?

Why ?

Coach D is doing a great job.

Yeah I think he is exceeding expectations and I didn't really have any.

Sam Presti is such a good general manager. We are very fortunate to have him.

I am not a Thunder fan but you are an idiot for thinking that Thunder should consider Nash as the next coach, there is a reason Nash got fired and that is because he SUCKS

I won’t call anyone an idiot for their sports opinion, but seeing how quickly Brooklyn clicked once he was gone, it’s impossible to look back and see him as anything more than an emphatic failure. I think a lot of that has to do with him originally being brought in to basically be a puppet-designated-coach while KD, Kyrie, and eventually Harden balled, but once conflict arose and strategy became essential, he was completely inept in managing it. I will say, assuming this isn’t some crazy timing coincidence, I’m impressed with the job Jacque Vaughn has done. When Brooklyn decided to not hire Ime Udoku and go with Vaughn instead, there were a lot of Nets fans that hated it. So if this is truly a result of his improvement as a coach, I’m highly impressed with him and the Nets could very well be the best team in the league with how they’ve come back together since he took over.

[Laramie]

Rumor: Thunder would allow GM Sam Presti to leave for Knicks if he wanted to:

Presti has been with the Thunder since 2007. He’s one of the best execs in the league. Members of the Knicks are said to be fond of Presti, but it’s unknown if Presti has interest in leaving his stable position with the Thunder for a murky one with the Knicks.

Knicks’ front office desperately needs to follow Sam Presti’s lead: https://dailyknicks.com/2022/04/18/n...m-presti-lead/

The standard is drastically different for the Thunder. Presti’s proven more than once that he knows what it takes to lead a franchise and his most recent presser was no different.

Sam Presti’s Process is Putting the Thunder in a Prime Position: https://boardroom.tv/sam-presti-process-thunder/

Thunder GM Sam Presti started the Thunder’s dramatic rebuild in 2020 by trading superstars for draft picks, young talent, and financial flexibility. All things considered, the team is currently overachieving at 7-8 despite having the league’s most youthful squad (22.6 years old) with the fourth-lowest payroll ($94.8 million).

NBA TRADES:


ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday afternoon that the Lakers, Timberwolves and Jazz have agreed to a three-way trade before Friday’s deadline.

The news comes after a report from Wojnarowski that Westbrook and coach Darvin Ham got into a “heated verbal exchange” in the locker room during halftime against Oklahoma City.

The agreed trade sees the Lakers acquire D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt while the Jazz receive Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damian Jones and a lightly protected 2027 first-round pick.

The Wolves, meanwhile, get Mike Conley Jr., Nickeil Alexander-Walker and three second-round picks as part of the deal.

It is expected that a buyout would be the likely path for Westbrook, who has $16.2 million left on his $47 million contract for the season.

Nets officially trade Kyrie Irving to Mavericks:

Brooklyn receives:

Spencer Dinwiddie
Dorian Finney-Smith
2027 second-round pick
2029 first-round pick (unprotected)
2029 second round-pick

Dallas receives:

Kyrie Irving
Markieff Morris

NBA Trade deadline: February 9, 2 p.m. CST

I’d say Jay Z won the trade.

Jay-Z sold his stake in the Nets a decade ago. He has an agency Rocnation, but I don't think they rep any of the players involved. What do you mean by Jay-Z won the trade?
