Awesome job. All small or mid market teams rejoice seeing Thunder resign their guy and stick it to the Lakers. Was a sweet moment for all nba fans. Now you gotta stretch Melo get that cancer off your team. How do you get your 3rd guy now?

Awesome move by OKC! Now it shows the organization is committed to winning. What moves do we make to improve the bench?

This really surprises me, because the games don't feel that expensive. It's not like a royals game, where a family of 3 can basically decide to go at the last minute, but it's a manageable expense.

I think stretching is the most likely. It saves the most money, but at the cost of future flexibility. I think ownership has to be capped out though, they've put everything in to keeping this together so we probably don't have future moves left.

That's a lot of money. But interesting, that a possible extension has played a role. Thunder for Life I guess. 8-)

So he can extend after year two but not opt out and become a free agent?

We already have the 3rd guy on the team. His name is Terrence Ferguson :)

No I actually have no idea. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Adams moved

Congrats OKC Fans.

As a fan of the Magic who watched Shaq, Penny, Tmac and D12 either get traded or signed somewhere else, its nice to see other small market teams not get screwed and have superstar players who have loyalty to the fanbase and the team.
Orlando Magic are BACK!!!

Yup, my season ticket prices went up. My friend in Ft. Worth who has Mavs season tickets said there's went up as well probably to pay DeAndre Jordan's salary. Also can't wait for next season to start already and for my season tickets to come in the mail!
