Shortly after the Sonics "R.I.P" got renamed the Oklahoma City Thunder rumors started circulating about what the Warriors would do or say about it. Thunder has been the Mascot for 12 years now. I Personally am not a huge fan of him. Like I said in the past I would rather see a more Indian type Warrior mascot as was originally intended. Either way it sounds like Thunder won't be around for long. Here is some quotes from Warriors team president Robert Rowell:
“We’re clearly going to do something to accommodate Oklahoma City and not have our mascot named Thunder,”
“For the sake of not making things confusing, we’re going to do something. We just have to figure out a good exit strategy.”
“The other thing we were thinking is maybe we trade him to Oklahoma City for a mascot to be named later or something like that,”
He had this to say about Thunder in regards to the Warriors upcoming trip to Asia:
“He might get lost in the crowd over in China, There are 1.3 billion people there.”
I don't think anything is going to happen this year though. To close to the season to get anything going. Maybe we won't see Thunder anymore this year but don't expect a replacement on opening night.
