Welcome to the one of the craziest days of the year in the NBA. The official start of free agency. I, Chuck, do not personally follow any other professional sports free agency periods, so I cannot attest to how wild they can be. I can tell you the NBA’s history might trump anything they have to offer.
This is going to be your one shop stop for all things Thunder related free agency news. We’re going to write articles on rumors and factual events. Then, we’re going to link them up here. We’re also going to share interesting tweets and stories that have been written by credible fake news sources. Anything we have posted here will be thoroughly vetted and confirmed before we post it. The last thing we want to do is be the sharer of some misinformation.
List of people to follow on twitter if you’re interested: Us, Royce Young, Ramona Shelburne, Zach Lowe, Adrian Wojnarwoski, Marc Stein (ESPN), Brad Turner (Blake Griffin information), Marc Spears, Chris Mannix, Sam Amick, and Lee Jenkins.
All of the top updates will be at the top. To go in chronological order, scroll to the bottom, work your way up.
Without Further adieu:

This deal will also take OKC past the luxury tax line. Plenty of time for the team to get back under it, but it's worth noting for now
