NBA legend Charles Barkley recently sent a strong message regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder's potential dominance following their championship season.

“Thunder.” And at that moment, hundreds in the room and who knows how many more watching broadcast streams elsewhere saw what Oklahoma City’s new downtown arena will look like. A glass façade. A circular shape. A rich interior. A magnificent building.

Oklahoma City signed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren to max contract extensions that combined for $822 million as they made it a priority to lock in their young core after they helped lead them to a title.

The 2-0 Thunder face the 0-2 Magic at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV from Las Vegas with Jase Richardson and Chris Youngblood looking to build on strong performances.

Grading the Oklahoma City Thunder's Free Agency So Far originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oklahoma City Thunder entered the NBA offseason not needing to make many moves as their roster was almost full already entering next season.

Mayor David Holt revealed the architectural designs for the new OKC Thunder arena on Wednesday, marking a significant step in the city's economic growth.
