Former Thunder Players Thread 

Post#1 » by Clav » Sat Feb 17, 2024 10:03 pm

Let's check in with our former OKC Thunder players - what are some of them doing after their time on our squad ?

Some notable players have come through this franchise, including 3 MVP players in total. It got me thinking we should emulate some of the other boards on the forum to discuss what these guys are doing, where they are playing, if they have retired, and maybe some good or bad nostalgia about their tenure with our team. Open for discussion and here's a little list for you all


Let's start with a few notable names

Three players from the original OKC Thunder team are still in the NBA...

KD - now in Phoenix
Russ - now in LA with the Clippers with Harden
Jeff Green - in Houston

Thabo - now a mod here
Collison - retired, with OKC ops group now

Harden - now in LAC with Russ
Perkins - now on ESPN with hot takes

Nazr - OKC Blue GM last I heard
Nate Robinson - getting KO'd in boxing matches last I saw

Reggie Jackson - Denver, and now a champion

Ibaka - playing in Europe now

Caron Butler - retired, coaching I think now
Andrew Roberson - did play some GL last season, but I think his career is pretty much over in the NBA

Steven Adams - traded to Houston after MEM and NOLA - had knee injury

Enes Freedom - out of NBA, changed name

Dion Waiters - yelling And-1 getting contact going to the fridge. Just kidding, but I don't miss him on our team :lol:

Cam Payne - now in PHL, had some resurgence after OKC in his career in PHX

Taj Gibson - still playing in NYK amazingly with Thibs after all these years

Norris Cole - in the GL

McDermott - in Indiana now

Oladipo - traded around a few times after quad and knee injury in MIA, was on our cap sheet briefly, traded to HOU, traded to MEM, waived, now FA

Sabonis - Sacramento Kings C and playing great lately

Jerami Grant - now earns max money from POR

Carmelo - retired

Paul George - LAC with Russ and Harden

Nerlens Noel - ???

Schroder - recently traded to BKN from TOR

Gallo - waived from DET recently

JRE - NOLA

Muscala - DET via WAS via BOS

CP3 - in SF with Curry and the Warriors

Bazley - in the GL

Horford - BOS celts

Ty Jerome - CLE

Hamidou Diallo - ??





I didn't mention everyone of course :)
Cheers

Mann and Micic playing well for the Hornets post trade, they are helping that younger team steady some offense.

Bertans also tweaked his knee so he's out for a bit - I'm glad he's not on our roster anymore even if it seemed like he was well liked by the other guys
