## Resource

The Oklahoma City Thunder are navigating tight cap waters after locking up MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, but veteran Alex Caruso is staying put on a lucrative four-year deal—he’s averaging nearly 15 points in the playoffs and is seen as crucial to their future. Meanwhile, Lu Dort’s future hangs in the balance, though Shai reportedly wants him kept around despite mixed playoff results, as younger guards like Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell rise up the roster.
