23 year old Chet Holmgren was selected to his first NBA All-Star game, joining the reserves of the western conference alongside Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards, Portland Trail Blazers Deni Avdija, Houston Rockets' Kevin Durant, Los Angeles Lakers' Lebron James, Phoenix Suns' Devin Booker, and Denver Nuggets' Jamal Murray. However, many fans (and apparently Gilbert Arenas) had major problems with Chet's selection, citing Los Angeles Clippers' Kawhi Leonard and Houston Rockets Alperen Sengun as better candidates. Today, Gabriel Ebersole highlights the frustration of fans, as well as outlining why (defense exists) Chet's first All-Star nod was warranted.

It has been a very hectic 24 hours for the OKC Thunder, recapped by Gabriel Ebersole in this video. Not only did they buy at the trade deadline, fleecing the Philadelphia 76ers for uncrowned 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year Jared McCain (2024 NBA Draft no. 16 from Duke basketball) by trading the Houston Rockets' first round pick, but they were also sellers, moving Ousmane Dieng in a three team deal with the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls. But this wasn't an off day for the OKC Thunder -- they had a primetime game against rival Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and the San Antonio Spurs. However, on the back end of a back to back, not only was the entire starting five (SGA, JDub, Lu Dort, Chet Holmgren, and Isaiah Hartenstein) missing the contest -- so was the majoring of the bench. Even in a loss, the 8 man Thunder rotation, which consisted of three 2-way (G League) players, put up a strong fight. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down some of the bright player performances from Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, Brandon Carlson, and Chris Youngblood in the 116-106 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

JARED MCCAIN TO OKC THUNDER! Gabriel Ebersole breaks down Sam Presti's masterclass, obtaining the people's rookie of the year, 21 year old Philadelphia 76ers (by way of Duke University basketball via the 16th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft) guard Jared McCain for...just about nothing. Only trading the Houston Rockets' first round pick and a trio of seconds, OKC got superstar upside on a rookie deal. We go over the trade, broken by Shams Charania, and McCain's fit with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), Chet, JDub, Mark, and the Thunder.

After the OKC Thunder decimated the will to live out of the Orlando Magic, 128-92, the team celebrated their 40th win of the season. That specific number win holds a special significance within the NBA -- a weight placed on the number by 13 time NBA champion Phil Jackson. Winning a pair of rings as a player with the New York Knicks, then adding eleven more coaching the likes of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille (Shaq) O'Neal, Phil knows a thing or two about what it takes to win. In 2008, he shared one of those things it takes: getting to the 40 win mark before suffering the 20th loss. Today, Gabriel Ebersole takes a deep dive into the validity of Phil Jackson's 40-20 rule, OKC's 40th win, and the Thunder players who were key in victory, including Lu Dort, Isaiah Joe, and Isaiah Hartenstein's first career triple double.

With the NBA trade deadline approaching, the OKC Thunder still have a pair of glaring weaknesses to armor up before attempting to defend their 2025 NBA Finals championship. Adding another weapon such as Day'Ron Sharpe, Nick Richards, Jock Landale, Kevon Looney, Kevin Love, Bobby Portis, Trey Murphy, or Ayo Dosunmo could be the push they need to defend the Larry O'Brien. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down these eight potential trade targets for Sam Presti and the Thunder front office, as well as their fit with Mark Daigneault and the team.

Even though Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, VJ Edgecombe, Jared McCain and the Philadelphia 76ers were able to dismantle Trey Murphy & Zion Williamson's New Orleans Pelicans 124-114 yesterday, it was a bad day for the team. This was due to veteran 3&D wing Paul George receiving a 25 game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, leaving him eligible for only the final ten contests this season. With Sam Presti and the OKC Thunder owning the rights to the Philadelphia 76ers' first round pick (and the Los Angeles Clippers', also courtesy of PG13), a potential pending collapse from Philly could result in OKC netting a franchise player. The 2026 NBA Draft Class, featuring freshmen phenoms including Kansas Darryn Peterson, BYU AJ Dybansta, Duke Cameron Boozer, and UNC Caleb Wilson, could set OKC up as cheat code. A high pick can keep OKC out of salary troubles during the duration of SGA, Chet, and JDub's max extension.
