    Thunder Re: Oklahoma City Thunder 2021-22 season

    Notice as you scan thru the various blogs and comments made about the 2022 top 3 draft picks, Banchero, Holmgren & Smith you get the impression that Banchero & Smith are more NBA ready than Chet. Of course the same was said about Cunningham, Green & Mobley '21 top pics. Giddey seems to be getting there, true point guard mentality.

    I'm glad someone pointed out that Durant weighed 5 lbs less than Holmgren when KD was drafted in 2007. The weight & nutritional programs are much better today than 15 years ago in 2007. Holmgren does need to gain weight, it's obvious that his frame will take a beating over time as opponents feel they can exploit him over time. It will be interesting to watch Chet's development.

    Also impressed with Jalen Williams, this young man has come out aggressive in his appearances. How these guys mess with Gilgeous-Alexander, Dort, Blazley & Giddey will begin a new chapter in Thunder basketball. THUNDER-UP!

    ]ust want to wish these guys the best in this upcoming season. Let's get that practice facility's $10 million renovation ready and Paycom Center's $105 million renovation completed (Hope Pete will have some updated info soon). Oklahoma City will have over $300 million invested in our arena which was built at a bargain (less than $90 million) in 2002. Time has passed, difficult to remember we didn't have a major professional sports franchise in Oklahoma, celebrated 20 years--June 22, 2022.

    I am extremely thankful for the Thunder. Clay Bennett and others by purchasing and moving that team catapulted OKC into a new. bold, exciting sphere. I hope fans realize the gem the Thunder are and how many cities would line up today to buy and move them. The return on investment has been incalculable IMO

    100% agree. It was incredible good fortune for OKC that Seattle and the NBA came to loggerheads at the level they did. I do not think any NBA team will relocate in the future. Their stadia are comparably cheap enough and existing franchise location has been so friendly to the NBA (market size wise) that this is a league that is a good civic value. I see MLB and the NFL can still have civic issues over stadia cost and size, and the NHL just doesn't have the same value.

    At the State of the City address today, Holt spent a significant time discussing how our current arena ranks far below every other NBA stadium in essentially every category, and pressed the importance of taking care of the Thunder. He said that they will be holding off on the renovations to the arena from Maps 4 funds, as well as pausing Thunder Alley, to develop a more comprehensive plan. All that to say, I fully expect a new arena being included in either an upcoming Maps project, or a similar, publicly-funded, bill.

    I posted this on the Paycom Center thread:

    In today's State of the City address by Mayor Holt, he spent a bunch of time speaking about the need to upgrade our NBA facilities.

    So much so, they have paused future MAPS 4 spending that has been allocated for Paycom (most of it has already been obligated for new seating and other things) until they can come up with a plan.

    The current agreement with the Thunder expires in 2023 and they just exercised a 3-year option to continue. Holt said that time will be spent working with Clay Bennett and the ownership to come up with a long-term plan.

    He pointed out it took 9 full years to build our current arena after voter approval, so there is a long lead time for major projects like this.


    He didn't say it, but this all sounds like the groundwork for a new facility, not just more improvements.

    He kept mentioning there are 18 larger MSA's without an NBA team, etc. and how Paycom is much smaller in square footage than most current NBA arenas.

    At the same time, he also mentioned plans for Thunder Alley to the south are moving forward.


    So, not sure what to make of this other than something big is coming and I'm sure it will happen before MAPS 5. Wouldn't be surprised if they are going to try and pass a new bond issue for a completely new arena.

    Thanks for posting the State of the City Address, BoulderSooner.

    Impressed with Mayor David Holt wanting to look at the possibility of a new arena to replace the Paycom Center. Now is the time to do it before you get the $105 million allocation from MAPS 4 committed.

    This won't affect the $10 million allocated toward the Thunder practice facility upgrades.

    Not sure if it will happen, but I'd like to see Giddy and Holmgren play today.

    Me too. It was reported that they have finished their summer league play. Coaches want to see what many other players on the summer league roster can do.

    I recorded the game, but after seeing the score and the box score I think I'll save myself some time and skip this one.

    Williams agreed to a four-year, $27.2 million extension with the Thunder, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported. The deal has an average annual value of $6.8 million. The first three years of the deal are guaranteed, and there’s a team option in the fourth year

    Just saw on ESPN that Holmgren is the second favorite to win Rookie Of The Year.
