## Resource

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s playoff dreams ended in shocking fashion as Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio Spurs to their first NBA Finals since Tim Duncan’s era, setting up a showdown with the team that eliminated the Hawks. With their salary cap tightening under the second apron, OKC faces tough roster decisions, potentially trading key players like Dort and Hartenstein—both coveted by Atlanta. Complicating matters, young stars Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace are nearing extension eligibility, with Wallace eyeing more playing time and a bigger contract—something the Hawks could offer, especially with his brother Keaton already in Atlanta. With $800 million in commitments to their core through 2031, OKC’s future looks increasingly uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
