Summary
The Oklahoma City Thunder just pulled off a savvy trade, sending Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks for three second-round picks — slashing $240 million off their luxury tax bill and creating a $17.5 million traded player exception. With Dort, Wiggins, and Joe already gone, they’ve only signed two rookies to fill the three open roster spots, leaving one spot wide open. All three two-way contracts are filled, giving them maximum flexibility. With stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren leading the charge, OKC’s offseason strategy remains a mystery — but history suggests they’ll wait to make their final move.
