## Resource

OKC Thunder shock fans by declining Kenrich Williams’ $7.2M option, making him a free agent — a move saving nearly $50M in luxury tax while trimming roster depth. Williams, a locker-room staple since 2020, averaged 6.5 PPG and 3.3 RPG in limited minutes last season. The Thunder also traded Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe for draft picks, further slashing payroll. Though they could re-sign Williams on a veteran min, it’d add $16M to their tax. They’ve locked in Lu Dort and re-signed Isaiah Hartenstein to a big deal, while drafting Aday Mara and Bennett Stirtz — a roster chess match in full swing.
