Welcome to Thunderous Thoughts, a weekly conversation about the OKC Thunder ranging from worshiping Russell Westbrook to spying on Paul George.

The offseason has become boring. Breaking news isn’t happening every hour, Sam Presti hasn’t traded for LeBron James and the Warriors are still really good. That’s why we take to Twitter to find things to talk about.

New OKC Thunder small forward Paul George sent out a tweet that sent Los Angeles Lakers fans into a frenzy.

Lakers fans, still on the euphoric high that comes with winning a complicated ten-day event amongst rookies and hopefuls, took this tweet as meaning Paul George will sign with the Lakers next offseason.

Dear Lakers fans,

Paul George could tweet, “I would love to play for the Lakers” and it wouldn’t mean with 100 percent certainty that he’s signing with the Lakers next offseason. 140 characters walk. 350 word Player’s Tribune articles talk. Trust us.

Signed, Thunder fans.

Since George tweeting the beginning of what is said every night at the dinner table means he’s going to the Lakers, let’s see decipher the latest tweets from other members of the OKC Thunder.

Patrick Patterson is already upset that he’s signed with Oklahoma City and has begun the free agent recruiting process. He’s letting other teams know where he’ll be and what they have to do to acquire his services in 2 to 3 years. Just take him to a movie. Patterson should have plenty of suitors.

Russell Westbrook hates shirts and racism. Loves his wife and denim.

This means exactly what it says it means. Stay positive, work hard, make it happen. There’s no secret message here. But let’s discuss something. This tweet is from almost a year ago. That means Felton or whoever runs his account has not tweeted in almost a year. However, his profile is decked out in Thunder gear. His bio says “OKC Thunder Point Guard.” His header image is the Thunder logo. His profile picture is a photoshopped image of him playing in a Thunder jersey. The man hasn’t tweeted in a year, but he has completely changed his profile and found a photoshopped picture of himself in a Thunder jersey to represent the current team he plays for.

This is the most fascinating thing in the world to me right now.
