Gilgeous-Alexander has emerged as one of the NBA's best players over the last four years. Four consecutive 30-plus point campaigns will do that. Throw in three All-NBA honors and an MVP trophy, and the 27-year-old has quickly ascended into all-time territory.

Days after signing his max extension with the Thunder, Chet Holmgren was seen rating NBA Centel posts about himself.

Got all that? Good. As the Thunder have neither paid the tax nor gone above the second apron yet, this means they are still four taxpaying seasons away from the repeater penalty and three second apron seasons away from seeing a first-round pick drop to No. 30 overall. This begs the question of when that cycle will actually start for them.

Since his trade to Houston and the No. 7 jersey choice became official, Kevin Durant is the NBA’s top seller among 2025-26 jerseys, per Fanatics.

The Thunder’s 2025 offseason showed restraint and loyalty but highlighted the mistake of overlooking a glaring weakness in 2025 free agency.

Former NBA star Victor Oladipo is working toward a return to the league after not playing since 2023, and he reportedly has been building some positive momentum.

Williams has agreed to a five-year maximum rookie extension that could reach $287 million, his agents told ESPN on Thursday. This OKC "big three" is now locked in with the Thunder for multiple years and could account for as much as $822 million on the payroll.

Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Jaylin Williams were all key contributors. Now, Presti has added 2025 first-round pick Thomas Sorber, a promising two-way center, to prepare for a potential Hartenstein exit after 2026.

The Thunder didn’t just win a championship on Sunday. They served notice to the rest of the league that the sport’s newest dynasty had arrived.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 2025 NBA champions, and NBA Finals victory shirts, hats, pennants and more items are available to buy right now as long as you know where to look.

Durant was Oklahoma City’s gleaming pride, his 2014 speech accepting the NBA’s MVP award in which he was moved to tears discussing his mother, Wanda’s, sacrifices, providing a civic iconography.

All this comes after the Phoenix Suns traded superstar Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the 10th pick (Khaman Maluach) in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Boston Celtics also began a refresh by trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers and Kristaps Porziņģis to the Atlanta Hawks.
