ESPN's NBA Rank proves there's nothing SGA can do to get the respect he deserves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One would think that the two-time defending NBA MVP would be residing comfortably at the top of the proverbial hierarchy. Unfortunately, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander doesn't have that luxury—nor does he seem to have the distinction of the second-best player in the Association. As ESPN's NBA Rank revealed, Gilgeous-Alexander is currently rated as third-best player in the NBA behind Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama. The r
Chet Holmgren should learn lesson from Karl-Anthony Towns to take the next step (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chet Holmgren is at something of a career crossroads as he approaches the 2026-27 NBA season. He's coming off of the best regular season of his career, but also turned in a Conference Finals that has posed valid questions about his ability to assert himself as a scorer when the Oklahoma City Thunder need him to do so. In many ways, Holmgren is approaching a make-or-break season in the same way that Karl-Anthony Towns was ahead of a legacy-altering 2025-26 campaign. Though their question marks ar
Not even elite depth can save the Thunder from co-stars’ question marks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Even after trading Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins, there's a strong case to be made that the Oklahoma City Thunder are the deepest team in the NBA.

The Thunder's depth is exactly why they're likely to set the pace for the NBA once again during the regular season. Unfortunately, in a 5-on-5 sport,
Ajay Mitchell will shoulder a burden for Thunder James Harden knows all to well (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whether or not Ajay Mitchell truly becomes the next James Harden, the similarities in their roles with the Oklahoma City Thunder are tough to ignore. Fresh off of a breakout season that has him primed for Sixth Man of the Year honors in 2026-27, Mitchell will operate as the bridge between the Thunder's star starters—much as Harden was during his time in Oklahoma City. The pieces may not be identical, but Mitchell can learn quite a bit from how Harden helped the Thunder reach the 2012 NBA Finals
Thunder shouldn't box Cason Wallace into simply replacing Lu Dort (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Oklahoma City Thunder have given Cason Wallace the proverbial keys to drive his own future forward. Widely expected to sign a fairly lucrative extension, Wallace is a prime candidate to replace Luguentz Dort in the starting lineup after Oklahoma City traded the defensive specialist to the Atlanta Hawks. Though Wallace will need to check many of the same boxes, the Thunder must also allow him to grow outside of the role that Dort played or risk stifling his development as an all-around player
