Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Expresses Desire To Stay With OKC

It would appear the answer to this question is a resounding yes. For any Thunder fan nervous that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could bolt Oklahoma City for a bigger market… don’t.

The MVP candidate openly expressed his desire to stay with OKC for the foreseeable future.

“I can only speak for myself. I love Oklahoma City and I can’t see a world where I’m not in Oklahoma City,” he said, as relayed by The Athletic’s Jason Lloyd. “I’m comfortable where I am. I like where I am. I love the people in the organization, love the people around me, and those are the things that matter. I go to work every day with a smile on my face.

“Me personally, the market doesn’t matter. The money doesn’t matter to a certain extent. But as long as I enjoy what I’m doing at a very high level, I love the people that I’m around doing it.”

Gilgeous-Alexander, 26, is signed through the 2026-27 NBA Season but will be eligible for a supermax extension right after it. A supermax that will give him 35% of the cap considering he made All-NBA teams in 2023 and 2024. Safe to assume that deal will eventually get done once the time comes given how Shai feels about the organization.
