The next 24 hours are either going to be awesome or soul-crushing

This time, it'll be different.

Honestly I'm impressed w/ you guys either way. I think at least you've jumped into the playoffs, and if LMA comes to PHX I'm legit scared of you guys. Chandler is a perfect fit even if the contract may be a year long. He's a great mentor for Len.

Most likely soul crushing. Derrick Williams anyone?

Apparantely LMA is holding out on his decision until tomorrow after meeting the Knicks( lol). Hopefully this emotional rollercoaster ends soon and this wasn't just a climactic glimmer of false hope that we can rest our laurels upon

All we need to know is if the allure of playing with Pop and Duncan is greater than the chance to create something special here with young and exciting talent.

If he says it is... well.... THEN HE'S DEAD TO ME.

Well I'm pretty scared of you guys too. Though OKC is my #2 team so if we had to lose to someone it would be you guys. Who did you guys agree to terms with today? Singler?

I wonder what type of chance the Knicks have or if he is more just thinking a courtesy meeting.

Yep, should be a slow offseason for the Thunder lol. Pretty much Singler and trying to resign Kanter (I'm kind of thinking he gets near max). They just have the mmle otherwise, so that's about it. The draft was our excitement as fans this year!

But you guys got Payne, which is solid. If you are going to miss the playoffs and get a lotto pick, getting a PG with his abilities is nice. Many people here really wanted him despite us already having two point guards.

Probably just to give him more time to decide between PHX and SA.

OMG, it's happening. McD is a ****' genius to put this off, seriously.
Even if he ends up in SA, absolutely astonishing job by our GM.

We deserve LMA for all the bad luck and crap we've had to deal with the past 5-6 years. Stealing him away from Spurs would make it even more special.

Finally an exciting first day of free agency after the last two years with Dwight and LeBron/Melo holding the entire market up.

Yeah, pretty happy with him, and honestly during the draft we were over on the OKC board hoping Booker would fall, you guys got another good one there! Seems like LMA is a definite chance which has to be encouraging, I don't know how you guys felt coming into today but seems like he's between you and the Spurs most likely (I don't see the Knicks being a threat).

Considering how well you guys have drafted over the years, OKC fans can legitimately be excited about the draft every year. A lot of respect for how good a job the Thunder have done putting a team together. Much like us in the Nash days you can't seem to get a break with injuries in the post-season so I feel your pain there.

I honestly didn't think it was a remote possibility, and I don't think many others did either.

Thanks, yeah last year was incredibly frustrating, but in the end it worked out. Next offseason will be the stressful one (though I still think KD stays), so hoping this year just goes better. :lol:
