## Resource

The Thunder traded Lu Dort to the Hawks for future assets, a savvy financial move to ease their cap crunch — but it comes with a cost: losing a gritty, All-Defense veteran who anchored their defense. While it opens doors for young players like Wallace and Mitchell, veteran Draymond Green warns the burden now falls on Jalen Williams to fill Dort’s defensive void, raising questions about whether the younger guards can match his versatility and intensity.
