Daily Bullets (July 5)

KD, Gone

This was probably the most well-written piece I read about KD and the Thunder. Also the most sad. [Ringer]

Zach Lowe (obviously) on point with all of this. [ESPN]

Sam Presti says to carry on. [Daily Thunder]

More sadness from Lee Jenkins here. But so good. [Sports Illustrated]

Chris Mannix on where the Thunder go from here. [Yahoo]

OSU athlete reaction. [PFB]

Berry Tramel: “Don’t forget that the eight-year run with Durant was more than most NBA cities get. Don’t forget all the thrills and chills Durant provided. Don’t forget that Durant did more for us than we ever did for him, and we did a lot for him.” [NewsOK]

Football News

It sounds like we should be excited about Lenzy Pipkins. [NewsOK]

Jordan Thomas got arrested again over the weekend. [LGG]

Sign up for the Cowboy Caravan. I may or may not have something planned for the OKC one. ? [okstate]

Why OSU should trade Marcell Ateman for Wisconsin’s Corey Clement … you know, if trades were allowed. You can never have too many running backs. It’s a tough lesson the Cowboys have learned over the past few years, so adding Clement and Barry J. Sanders gives Oklahoma State a pair of proven quality options to put alongside Mason Rudolph in the offensive backfield. [ESPN]

Pokes in the Pros

[David] Glidden said Weeden has helped him out with workouts and with some inside advice including the most simple and maybe the most important and that is to do what you are capable of and don’t try to be somebody that you’re not. Basically, be the best you can be. [Go Pokes]

Good update here on Le’Bryan Nash and what he’s doing this summer. [Tulsa World]

Plano senior committed to OSU accused of sexually assaulting two children. So that’s not good. [O’Colly]

Thomas Hatch signs. Good for him.
