We knew it was a slight gimmick. How can you entice fans to come see a team that wasn't theirs? One solution: bring in one of their college legends. On Oct. 26th, 2005, the NO/OKC Hornets traded for Desmond Mason.

Batman & the Joker
No superhero has more consistencies & redundancies than Batman. The same can be said for SGA. No matter what the defense throws at him, SGA usually has an answer for it. The Joker smiles big & so does J-Will.

Probably the first "who?" of the rebuild. It was the 2020 NBA draft & OKC was entrenched in starting their rebuild. Krejci was coming in w/ a torn ACL. Became our first redshirt rookie. He’s had a pretty good career since then.

The PG trade package continues to be the thing of nightmares for the Clippers' organization. But for OKC, it started with two players (SGA and Gallinari) and a bunch of unrealized draft picks.

Every game we see remnants of OKC’s past. Collison, Nazr Mohammed, Eric Maynor. But Mike Wilks was the 1st player to accept a position as a scout under OKC’s initiative to help create jobs for ex-players in off-court careers.

The 2014-15 season. KD & Russ out w/ injuries. We signed Sebastian Telfair to bring some steady guard play & veteran leadership.
Yeah, that lasted all of 16 games & Bassy was never back in the NBA after that.

There’s no way to gauge the impact CP3 had on SGA in their one season together. But you can definitely see it in the game. Mid-range king. Getting to his spots. Playing at his own pace. All reminiscent of CP3’s game.

Look, I get it. This was my chance to stick it to the man. Show PJ Dozier in the #35 jersey & call it a day.
