Summary
Oklahoma City Thunder just made a savvy move by picking up Luguentz Dort’s team option for 2027, locking in a hefty $17.7M salary while keeping roster flexibility. Meanwhile, they declined Kenrich Williams’ option — but don’t write him off yet. The veteran, a beloved culture fit, reportedly wants to stay, and the front office may bring him back on a smaller deal. Dort’s been a defensive anchor and All-Defensive First Teamer, vital to OKC’s identity. This isn’t a clean split — it’s strategic roster chess, with the Thunder playing the long game as the season looms.
