## Resource

The Thunder just locked down Isaiah Hartenstein on a 3-year, $75M deal — securing their starting center and setting up a crowded frontcourt with Holmgren, Williams, and rookies Sorber and Mara. Expect Hartenstein’s minutes to dip during the regular season, a smart move to keep him fresh for playoffs — much like Alex Caruso — while letting younger players develop. His postseason pedigree makes this strategic trade-off worth it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
