— OKC OWNERSHIP —
Harden 2012 vs Dort 2026

I decided to take a step back & look at similarities between James Harden’s trade in 2012 & Lu Dort in 2026

To be clear, they aren’t the same caliber of player.

This is purely the parallels of how ownership operates 👇

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

OKC has expertly threaded the needle this offseason by:

Re-signing Hartenstein and Kenrich.

Trading beloved role players to great fit landing spots in the East.

Collecting 7 2nd Round picks.

Shedding hundreds of millions in tax.

Getting under the 2nd apron.

Adding 2 high upside 1st round rookies in the draft.

Creating flexibility to sign Wallace to an extension.

All while retaining the top 7 players (9 of their top 10) by minutes in their 2026 playoffs rotation.

If you were a wrestling fan in the early 90s as a kid, there's a good chance you hit one of these guys with a flying elbow drop

Sam Presti to @Justintohoops:

“This was a financial decision. The impression I have been given is that the savings generated this summer, and from being out of the tax the last several years, will be re-allocated to future teams.” https://t.co/uibr2SsbS8

Oklahoma City has now acquired seven second-round picks this offseason, shed $224 million in payroll and tax and positioned themselves comfortably under the second apron via the trades of Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins.

Rather than simply declining Dort's $17.7 million team option to save the money, the Thunder picked it up, acquired three future assets, created a $17M trade exception and place their 2025 championship stalwart in position for a new long-term deal in Atlanta which was not viable in OKC.

Tax penalty drops from $103M to $19M

OKC drops below the second apron without touching their 3 core players while also retaining Hartenstein, Kenrich Williams and guard depth (Caruso/McCain/Mitchell)

23 years ago today, WCW President Eric Bischoff made one of the most shocking debuts in WWE history when Vince McMahon introduced him as RAW General Manager.

The embrace between Vince and Bischoff on the stage left the Pro Wrestling industry in shock.

Caruso — 73.8%
Wallace — 72.4%

Never forget when The Undertaker tied Hulk Hogan to his motorcycle and dragged him across the ground.

All-time hilarious segment.

Big news for #OkState

Kollin Ritchie, via his Instagram account, announced that he is returning to Stillwater for next season

The center fielder has two years of eligibility left

[Jay Scott Smith @JayScottSmith]

This felt like the biggest thing ever when it happened THIRTY years ago. Hogan going heel (in the ring, as he had been a real life one forever) was mind blowing.

What’s crazy is only 2 men in this video — Sting and Nash — are still alive to talk about it.

[Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner @ScottSteiner]

30 years ago today the wrestling business changed forever.

Everybody wanted to be nWo.
Nobody could duplicate it.

Three decades later… they’re still talking about it.

30 years ago tonight, the world changed forever.
