The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed free agent guard Royal Ivey to a contract, Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced today. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not announced.

Defensive stud, and more athletic than you think. Now with either Royal or Thabo on the court at all times, OKC's tough defense will be improved.

would of preferred if the signed back Kevin Ollie maybe he will take a seat on the coaching staff this season

he'll be our 3rd string obviously i guess that means a trade is brewing or weaver will be cut

^ More than likely Weaver will be cut, which is a shame as I think he can be a good role player.
