Josh Giddey's Comment / October 1

Holmgren spoke about the team losing Giddey when he was on Paul George's podcast (Podcast P with Paul George).

Holmgren: "I was f**king hurt when I saw that Giddey wasn't going to be on our team anymore. We all rocked with him, that's our dog. Still is. He's gonna go do great things in Chicago. We're excited for him."

The Thunder are coming off an impressive season where they were the first seed in the Western Conference with a 57-25 record.

They made the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season and swept the New Orleans Pelicans (before losing to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 of the second round).

On October 24, the Thunder will begin the 2024-25 regular season when they visit Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in Colorado.
