Official: Kevin Durant signs deal with Warriors

(Oklahoma City) - Kevin Durant is joining the Golden State Warriors.

Saying he has experienced "by far the most challenging few weeks in my professional life," Durant announced his decision to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder on MondayDurant is expected to sign a two-year, $54.3 million contract, sources told ESPN's Marc Stein. The deal will include a player option after the first year.

"The primary mandate I had for myself in making this decision was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player -- as that has always steered me in the right direction," Durant wrote. "But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth.

Sources: Oklahoma City Thunder agree to send Ibaka for Oladipo on draft night

(Oklahoma City) - The Orlando Magic acquired forward Serge Ibaka in a multiplayer trade Thursday night with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder received combo guard Victor Oladipo, forward Ersan Ilyasova and the rights to power forward/center Domantas Sabonis, who was taken with the 11th pick in the NBA draft.

"Serge [Ibaka] is a young veteran who brings tremendous athleticism and toughness to our frontcourt," Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said. "His tireless work ethic and wealth of playoff experience will help enhance our culture and roster. We thank Victor [Oladipo] for all of his contributions both on the court and in the community. We wish him and Ersan [Ilyasova] the best of luck in the future." Sources say the reason why Thunder traded Ibaka was because they were reluctant from signing him to a max extension deal.

Sources: Thunder agree to a deal with SF/SG Alex Abrines

(Oklahoma City) - The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to sign forward/guard Alex Abrines to a three-year deal worth $18 million. Abrines, 22, was selected 32nd overall by the Thunder in the 2013 draft but remained with FC Barcelona for the past three seasons. Last season, he won the Euroleague Rising Star award (top under-22 player in Europe), topping 76ers lottery pick Dario Saric for the honor. Past winners include Ricky Rubio, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Mirotic.

Sources: Dion Waiters not returning to Thunder; signs with Heat

(Oklahoma City) - Waiters and the Heat have agreed to a two-year contract worth $6 million with a player option in the second year of the deal. Waiters would receive an additional bonus if he is traded.

Waiters averaged 9.8 points for the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, but had several big games in the playoffs. His offensive burst with the second unit helped the Thunder keep pace when stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook needed rest, and his aggressive mentality fit well with a bench unit that needed some force.

Report: A month after hiring, Thunder promote defensive specialist Adrian Griffin to associate head coach.

(Oklahoma City) - After the season with Magic ended, Adrian Griffin was hired by the Thunder in June 2016. He is now being promoted to associate head coach which is also known as "top assistant coach". Griffin has impressed a lot of players and coaches specially in the summer league and everyone hopes he can work on the defensive liabilities: Enes Kanter and Ersan Ilyasova.

Thunder ready to take on the Wolves for the first time this year

Matchup Preview *|* January 16, 2017
	@
Minnesota Timberwolves (, Away)		Oklahoma City Thunder (, Home)
Projected Starters Kris Dunn Point Guard Russell Westbrook Zach LaVine Shooting Guard Vic Oladipo Andrew Wiggins Small Forward Andre Roberson Karl Anthony Towns Power Forward Domantas Sabonis Gorgui Dieng Center Steven Adams Injury Report Alex Abrines / Broken Finger Day-to-Day Game Notes After having a great season off the bench, forward-center has proved that he can finally start. He's been averaging 10.1 PTS, 6.0 REBS, and 1.2 BLKS off the bench on 22 MPG. Coach Donovan has said they also needed a defensive big man to guard Karl Anthony Towns since Ilyasova, the former starter, has been a defensive liability. Enes Kanter is still the sixth man for the team and has started only one game when Adams was out. Since SG/SF Alex Abrines is out for tonight's game, rookie Daniel Hamilton is expected to get some playing time. He is an excellent rebounder for a guard-forward and has nice court vision which resulted him in averaging 5 assists a game in college. Win Probability: OKC 55% - MIN 45%
