Presti says the amnesty is "not something we've really explored," and talked Martin's and Lamb's future and more: dailythunder.com/2013/05/presti…

Darnell Mayberry

Sam Presti on Kendrick Perkins: "I think he's going to go back and work and COME BACK improved."

Serge Ibaka

Volveremos más fuertes para tratar de ganar el próximo campeonato. Personalmente me espera un verano de duro trabajo para seguir mejorando.

Serge Ibaka

Un año más me siento muy afortunado por formar parte de los @okcthunder y por tener a la mejor afición del mundo.

Serge Ibaka

As a team, we will come back even stronger to try to win a championship. Personally, a summer of hard work awaits to keep getting better

Serge Ibaka

One more year I feel very fortunate and very proud of being a part of the @OKCThunder and for having the greatest fans on earth #Thunderup

Video: Russell Westbrook's top 10 plays of 2012-13: bit.ly/14gcq8y

Royce Young

Amazing that in the finger-pointing and blame game, that perspective seems to be lost on a lot of people.

Royce Young

Quick reminder that for some reason seems necessary: Russell Westbrook got hurt and missed most of the playoffs.

Royce Young

It's about the overall health of the organization. Thunder ownership was willing to significantly break into the tax with their Harden offer

Royce Young

If you're taking the anti-amnesty talk as Thunder ownership is cheap, then you're completely misunderstanding the situation.

Royce Young

Seems like a relevant time to tweet this again: Why the Thunder won't, and shouldn't, amnesty Kendrick Perkins: dailythunder.com/2013/05/should…

Darnell Mayberry

Yes, James Harden was on the team as well. But so were Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Best two players from that trio are still here.

Darnell Mayberry

Just a reminder. The Thunder made the NBA Finals last year with Kendrick Perkins.

Royce Young

Presti called Westbrook and Durant the "caretakers of the organization" and "drivers of our culture."

Royce Young

Presti: "Jeremy [Lamb] is somebody we feel really good about. He's definitely going to be a contributor to our team in the near future."

Darnell Mayberry

Presti on the offer made to James Harden and the financial ramifications: "We understand at that time that that would be a short term play."

Royce Young

Presti on the luxury tax: "It's one thing to be in. It's another to be in for a long time."

Royce Young

Presti said Russell Westbrook should have a full recovery and be the same player, in terms of health, he was prior to the injury.

Darnell Mayberry

Sam Presti on the amnesty clause: "We just haven't considered using the provision...We think Perk has a lot of value to our team."

Royce Young

Presti essentially said that the Thunder philosophically oppose using the amnesty. He then explained why teams use it in great detail.

Royce Young

Presti: "For us, the amnesty application is not something that we've considered as an organization."

Royce Young

Presti referenced the Thunder being in the top five in offensive and defensive efficiency as something to be proud of. #stats

Royce Young

Sam Presti's final availability: "Obviously we still would like to be playing .. We feel we had a great season with a disappointing ending."

Ronnie Brewer

Congrats to the Fayetteville High baseball team on another state championship.

Hasheem Thabeet

I HAVE A FAN APPRECIATION GIVEAWAY COMING FOR YOU GUYS!! STAY TUNED. #THUNDERTFUP

Hasheem Thabeet

FUNDI WA UKWELI NI KINYOZI TU. LMFAO

Royce Young

Perk in the regular season averaged 25.1 minutes per game. Only 1.6 of those came without Westbrook on the floor with him.

Royce Young

Relevant factor to consider in Perk's postseason: He was a +10.1/100 possessions in the regular season with Russell Westbrook on the floor.

Royce Young

Like I said in the post, the people that just yell "AMNESTY PERK" remind me of this: youtu.be/7pdWAcK6Eh8

Darnell Mayberry

But the potential 12th pick (via Toronto) is likely to be one OKC keeps & brings in, putting that player on the summer league squad as well.

Darnell Mayberry

OKC also could have the 12th overall pick, the 29th and the 32nd pick in this year's draft. Unlikely OKC will select & bring in all three...

Royce Young

Big fans of all the people that immediately responded "DUH YES" without reading the 2,000 words I just wrote about it.

Darnell Mayberry

Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones, Daniel Orton, DeAndre Liggins and, if they let him play, Reggie Jackson all will compete at summer league.

Royce Young

Should the Thunder amnesty Kendrick Perkins?: dailythunder.com/2013/05/should…

Darnell Mayberry

This was my last day in the presence of the great DeAndre Liggins until July. And he couldn't guarantee us he'll be back next year. Sad day!

Royce Young

Thunder assistant GM Troy Weaver's name is reportedly being brought up for the potential Raptors GM position: bit.ly/13BnRIi

Royce Young

Just realized the Jeremy Lamb caller may have been Scott Brooks. #heyyyy

Royce Young

Someone just (seriously) called in to @markrsports and asked who Jeremy Lamb is and if he was on the team now. That says it all. #FreeLamb

Royce Young

From @mkimball011: The Thunder's season ended in monumental disappointment, but remember, things are still good: dailythunder.com/2013/05/its-go…

Hasheem Thabeet

I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR LOYAL THUNDER FANS FOR AN INCREDIBLE SEASON! YALL BE TURNT UP #LOUDCITY. GREAT PEOPLE TO BE AROUND. #THUNDERTFUP

Darnell Mayberry

I'm 99 percent sure Perk is back. I'm 95 percent sure K-Mart is not.

Darnell Mayberry

Wanna talk about it, we can talk about it. But those are my thoughts. Kind of tired of hearing it.

Darnell Mayberry

People keep tossing out the word "amnesty" like it's a free pass for not paying a player. Makes no sense. And no, KD shouldn't be criticized

Royce Young

Kevin Martin talks about his future with the Thunder: dailythunder.com/2013/05/exit-i…

Kendrick Perkins

Words of wisdom for today is Don't listen to people who don't care about you. 1

Royce Young

Perk: "Russ do one thing that stands out to me. He gives everybody swag. He gives everybody swagger to Coach Brooks to KD to myself."

Darnell Mayberry

Kendrick Perkins on the amnesty possibility: "I'm pretty sure I'll be back next year."

Royce Young

Kevin Durant says this season wasn't a wasted year, and doesn't "give a damn" if you don't like that: dailythunder.com/2013/05/exit-i…

Royce Young

Martin: "I have a vision of what I want my career to be. And more than anything that's happiness and being part of something special."

Royce Young

Kevin Martin: "This is a place I'd love to be ... I'm going to have some options out there so I'm going to see how the process plays out."

Royce Young

Kevin Martin: "This is a place I'd love to be ... I'm going to have some options out there so I'm going to see ow the process plays out."

Royce Young

Fisher said he's going to not comment right now until he has time to review everything.

Royce Young

Derek Fisher on Billy Hunter's lawsuit: "I literally just became aware before I walked in the room."

Darnell Mayberry

Derek Fisher says he was just made aware of Billy Hunter's lawsuit moments ago. "I won't choose to comment at this point," Fisher said.

Royce Young

Derek Fisher: "I definitely would love to play again next season ... I would enjoy the opportunity to come back."

The Thunder's season is over, as @TPisme puts it, "buried under a pile of barbecue and menisci." dailythunder.com/2013/05/the-si…

Royce Young

Russ said he talked to Derrick Rose a couple days after his injury. Said Rose told him to "take his time" and "listen to his body."

Royce Young

Westbrook on if he ever got worked up about the officiating watching: "Of course. Because I knew I couldn't get a tech sitting up there."

Royce Young

KD was asked if he felt like this was a wasted year. "Nothing is ever a wasted year for me. It's basketball. I've grown so much as a man."

Royce Young

KD: "I love Kevin Martin. I love everything he stands for ... I would love for him to do whatever he feels is right for himself."

Royce Young

KD: "I think last night after the game, I don't normally drink Gatorade, but I think I drank four or five Gatorades after the game."

Royce Young

KD on where his game can go from here: "Be more efficient. Only place I can go is up."

Royce Young

Scott Brooks' full exit interview comments (h/t @Randy1340OKC): bit.ly/14sRUky

Royce Young

Scott Brooks asked to evaluate himself. Said he'd have to think about it later. "Call me... maybe," he said, obviously referencing the song.
