Read the latest Thunder happenings here on ClickTown.

Make sure you check out the latest podcast from the Topic: Thunder crew.

Chris Paul will appear on the latest Body issue from ESPN The Magazine: “Others appearing in the Body issue include Oklahoma City guard Chris Paul, Evander Kane of the San Jose Sharks, IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe, WNBA player Liz Cambage, basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman, UFC champion Amanda Nunes, former UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi and soccer player Kelley O’Hara.”

Nick Gallo (OKCThunder) chats with Nerlens Noel who stopped by the Rookie season ticket members party: “There are new beginnings for the Thunder family as well, with Noel suddenly serving as one of the most experienced players with 5 full NBA seasons under his belt at age 25. Noel will have a pair of former Kentucky Wildcats with him in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Hamidou Diallo. Heโ€™ll also be alongside four fellow players (Steven Adams, Dennis Schrรถder, Andre Roberson and Mike Muscala) who were selected in the 2013 Draft, giving the group a mix of energetic verve and solid experience.”

Tamberlyn Richardson (Thunderous Intentions) says the Thunder would benefit from keeping Andre Roberson: “One notable will be whether the Thunder tries to trade Steven Adams. In the event that occurs, I think it becomes more likely the franchise would want to retain Roberson to assume the leadership responsibilities of a young squad. The other caveat will be how ARob and Gilgeous-Alexander fit. If the youngster develops chemistry with Roberson it could offer yet another reason to keep him in the fold.”

Nick Crain (Forbes) on Dennis Schroder looking to take the German national team to new heights: “In the Eurobasket 2015 Tournament, Schroder averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per contest while Germany finished a disappointing 18th place. In the Eurobasket 2017 Tournament, Schroder put it upon himself to make it further. At that time, he led Germany to the quarterfinals while averaging a tournament high 23.7 points per game, along with 5.6 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game.”

Nick Crain (Forbes) on the new renovations the Chesapeake Energy Arena would get if MAPS 4 passes: “The Oklahoma City Thunder have completely changed the landscape of the city. The local economy of Oklahoma City as well as the morale of its residents have skyrocketed. With the in-state rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University running higher than ever, Oklahomans finally were able to rally together and cheer for a common cause.”
