The Oklahoma City Thunder are the 2025 NBA Champions; KD is Traded to the Rockets
6/23/2025
Even with our moods a bit muted in light of the Tyrese Haliburton injury, we celebrate the championship journey of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Sam Presti and the Thunder organization for one of the great turnarounds in NBA history.
Indiana is devastated by the Tyrese Haliburton injury. We look back on their unbelievable postseason and turn a somber eye to what comes next.
Kevin Durant played this trade scenario right and got his desired destination with the Houston Rockets. We discuss the return for Phoenix and their next steps, how KD fits into Ime Udoka’s schemes in Houston, Houston’s finances going forward with KD in the fold, and whether Minnesota, Miami, and Phoenix should have FOMO.
