As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Oklahoma City Thunder should focus on touching up the corners — if that. No need to fundamentally change the painting. The Thunder have been the league's best team this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced they have signed Ajay Mitchell to a standard deal. He was previously on a two-way contract for the first half of the season. It's reportedly a two-year, $6 million contract.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are the very best team in the Western Conference and one of the favorites to win the NBA Finals, and they amassed a 40-9 record largely without their second-best player, Chet Holmgren.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder recently found out which All-Star team they will be playing on this season.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 50 points and the NBA-leading Oklahoma City Thunder routed the Phoenix Suns 140-109 on Wednesday night to improve to 40-9

Shai's display places him as the 9th player in NBA history to drop at least 50 points on three or more matches during a seven-game span.
