Oklahoma City Thunder Rumours

12 Oct 2025 05:27:53
Heat / Thunder

Heat - Isaiah Hartenstein, Ousmane Dieng, Nikola Topic & 3 1st round picks + pick swap

Thunder - Bam Adebayo, Keshad Johnson, 2nd round pick

Thunder become even more dangerous on the defensive end, Miami have Ware to handle their frontcourt and they get Topic who can be their future backcourt star

Thunder roster

SGA - Wallace
Dort - Joe - Caruso
JDub - Wiggins - Mitchell
Holmgren - KWilliams - Johnson
Adebayo - Williams

12 Oct 2025 13:31:51
OKC is a championship team. Their goal is to maintain that while also avoiding 2nd apron penalties. They won't be able to do that with a 4th star.

23 Oct 2025 22:56:49
The value isn't even that good for Oklahoma. Hartenstein is a great big on a good contract.

25 Sep 2025 03:52:50
Cavs get: Ousmane Dieng, '26 first via Jazz and '28 srp via Jazz

​Thunder get: Dean Wade


Why?
Cavs get a player they liked in the draft who still has potential and also get a 1st round pick and a 2nd.

Thunder get a battle tested stretch 4 on a cheap deal. Thunder don't have a true stretch 4.

25 Sep 2025 16:10:09
Thunder not giving up a young player and a 1st for that.

05 Aug 2025 02:52:49
Cavs get: Isaiah Hartenstein, Cason Wallace, Ousmane Dieng, 3 1sts ('26 Jazz, '27 Nuggets and '28 Mavs swap) and 3 2nds ('28 Jazz, '28 Bucks and '29 Celtics)
Thunder gets: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Mobley needs to get more touches. We get a great package for Mitchell.
Thunder gets a superstar who fits great next to SGA.

Did Gasupo click believable 5 different times or was there actually 4 other people who found this believable? If so, please name yourself and state your case for the jury.

01 Aug 2025 11:54:55
Yeah lmao no way 6 people agree to this. Nyk is not giving half the worth of the Joker there. If you think that's fair, stop watching basketball.

10 Aug 2025 21:09:15
KAT Williams is crazy.

17 Jul 2025 04:58:31
Since we're a second apron team, it got me thinking: Why not explore trades on a pick that we might lose anyway? Use it to upgrade our bench while we still, have it?

Cavs get: Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh
Jazz get: Max Strus and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add bench depth, which includes a much needed big. We also save a lot of money.
Jazz get a high variable first.

Offer Walker Kessler a 4-year, $70 million extension.

Cavs get: Ousmane Dieng
Thunder get: Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs add a prospect they liked who could contribute. Wade is injury prone.
Thunder add a stretch big that would be a good fit in their roster.

Offer Ousmane Dieng a 4-year, $50 million extension.

PG: Darius Garland / Lonzo Ball / Craig Porter Jr.
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Sam Merrill / Tyrese Proctor
SF: De'Andre Hunter / Brice Sensabaugh / Jaylon Tyson
PF: Evan Mobley / Larry Nance Jr. / Ousmane Dieng
C: Jarrett Allen / Walker Kessler
Coach: Kenny Atkinson.

17 Jul 2025 18:36:00
The Jazz said no to Knecht +'31 1st, so why would they want Strus instead? Plus they add Senasabaugh? I know Jazz players arent that popular but this is horrible for them.

09 Jul 2025 18:49:24
Boston Celtics: Alex Caruso, 1º RP, 2º RP

Oklahoma City Thunder: Derrick White

09 Jul 2025 19:30:36
Doesnt make sense for both.

03 Jul 2025 19:45:29
Miami dickish asks for too much as most often - and instead to go all in for a year, maybe LeBron wants to go to Spurs? If not he needs to stay another 3 years to build a contender - and y never now if it goes faster.

Ayton was great at Suns with Paul - afterwards he missed a creator for him. Luca and even LeBron will accelerate Ayton to become the monster he is.

But like Doncic, Ayton needs to spend and invest much more in focus and defense. Both have the tools and body - both can become good defenders - do so you have probaly the best playmaker and big in LA.

So "maybe" LA risks to lose James, if he want and to go young:

LAL Castle,
SAN LeBron, Bronny

LAL Barrett
TOR 2x1st, Knecht, Kleber, Vincent, Milton

LAL S&T Kuminga, Moody, 1st 2027
GSW Hachimura, Reaves, Kleber

Sign Melton and resign Hayes

Ayton, Hayes
Vanderbilt, Kumavinga
Moody, Barrett
Luca, Goodwin
Castle, Melton

OKC gets beaten by the next OKC : )

23 Jun 2025 17:55:14
Should OKC offer Hartenstein, Topic, Joe and 4 1sts picks to Milwaukee for Giannis.

23 Jun 2025 19:32:38
No. Love Giannis, but I don’t think he can function like a big. He’s a primary ball handler/ initiator. He’s not an elite pick man in a P&R. It’s why he and Dame didn’t really work well together. I think he’d disrupt their offense.

I also don’t think the Bucks take a deal unless either JDub or Chet are offered.

23 Jun 2025 22:32:11
OKC should run it back no need to distract what they are doing. They were a 68 win team with the trophy.

20 Jun 2025 01:33:08
Cavs get: Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, Ousmane Dieng, Dalen Terry, 12th via Bulls, 24th via Thunder, '26 frp via Thunder from Jaz, '26, '28 and '30 via Bulls
Bulls get: Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Ajay Mitchell, Dillon Jones
Thunder get: Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs get a great package for Mitchell. Williams and Huerter have some upside, Dieng is a nice prospect and the pick package could be very helpful moving forward. We also save $31.8M.
Bulls get a superstar for a reasonable price, and a 3pt specialist veteran in Strus. Mitchell and Jones are added to give the Thunder some cap flexibility.
Thunder get a defensive specialist on a team friendly deal and a stretch big.

MEM-MIA-POR

POR gets Rozier on an expiring contract, they do this to get Ayton off the books and save an extra 10 mil, can wave Rozier without too much penalty and go after a big whale next summer or try their luck on a rising role player this summer


MIA get Bane, Ayton, Scotty Pippen Jr
Resign Davion 3yr/ 27mil

MEM gets Wiggins, Robinson, 2029 1st, 2031 1st

Sign Steven Adams 2yr/ 20mil
Sign Gary Payton 3yr/ 30mil

Memphis gets essentially an older more polished version of bane just way cheaper and a better defender- with actual playoff experience and pedigree- they get someone like Robinson who's also another great playoff performer and can be an alternative to kennard who struggled somewhat vs OKC.

Best part is they have only 3 yrs combined on their deals- thus enabling some flexibility next summer.


Ja/ GP3
Wells
Wiggins/ Robinson
Jaren/ Aldama/ Clarke
Edey/ Adams


Davion/ Pippen Jr
Herro/ Jovic
Bane/ Highsmith
Bam/ Kyle Anderson
Ayton/ Ware

I doubt miami does anything too crazy this summer, the free agent market is tapped and unless they move bam ( given riley said he wants herro at MIA forever) then I don't see a move for a giannis transpiring- so i think getting someone like Bane with a serviceable center like Ayton) ( a bit expensive) but Miami has revived alot of center's careers plus he's 26 and still has stuff to offer.

25 May 2025 05:24:23
Cavs get: Jalen Williams, Cody Williams, Ousmane Dieng, KJ Martin and 15th pick
Thunder get: Donovan Mitchell, Walker Kessler and Svi Mykhailiuk
Jazz get: Isaiah Hartenstein and their own 2026 first via Thunder

Why?
Cavs add a star in J-Dub plus some other goodies and save money.
Thunder get a superstar who is a perfect fit next to Shai and a young big that can defend the rim.
Jazz get a veteran big and their pick back to potentially start competing.

25 May 2025 09:43:04
Thunder is few wins away from the chip, why would they break that core? And Mitchell isn't a proven winner.

19 May 2025 13:57:24
OKC: Jokic
Denver: Holmgren+Hartenstein+D Jones+ #15+ 1rnd pick Philly 26+1rnd pick Utah 26 (top 8 protected) return first round picks 27 and 29

OKC:
C:Jokic
PF:K Williams
SF:Dort
SG:J williams
PG:SGA

19 May 2025 16:30:45
Not enough, that's a Giannis package.

19 May 2025 23:34:36
Think Denver will ask for Holmgren and Jdub at the minimum.

18 May 2025 22:33:16
Cavs get: Nic Claxton, Cason Wallace, Ousmane Dieng, 8th pick and 15th pick
Nets get: Donovan Mitchell and Ajay Mitchell
Thunder get: Cam Johnson

Why?
Cavs get a good package of good fitting players and picks and save some money.
Nets get their coveted superstar.
Thunder get a sharpshooter who fits well with them.

19 May 2025 03:01:07
Thunder says no.

17 May 2025 00:37:04
Cavs get: Jalen Williams, Isaiah Hartenstein, Ousmane Dieng and 15th pick
Thunder get: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cavs turn Mitchell into a solid package, players who are good fits.
Thunder get a star backcourt partner for SGA.

17 May 2025 12:10:07
JDub is a better fit for SGA.

17 May 2025 19:46:55
I don't really like it for either team.

18 May 2025 09:11:38
the value is correct
But i don't like it for OKC
They should keep the team together. The only exception is Giannis.

10 May 2025 17:43:27
If OKC loses this series, it just shows that their current line up is not enough to beat the best in the west( Luka & Jokic eliminates them on back to back season)

OKC/MIL

OKC get Giannis Antetokounmpo

Pg SGA/Wiggins/Caruso
Sg Dort/Joe
Sf Williams/Williams
Pf Giannis
Ce Hartenstein/Williams

MIL get Chet Holmgren, Ousmane Dieng, Alex Caruso, Nikola Topic & 3 1st round picks

13 May 2025 19:57:37
They have the rookie they drafted, Niokla Topic coming back from injury next year. Plus alot of picks going forward. They dont need a Top 5 guy. OKC can just stay the course and work their books.

04 Mar 2025 07:18:00
Short term success and culter. LMAO

If you play Irving that heavy he will miss the most of the games.

Mavs will trade Durant

DAL Durant
PHX Gafford, Washington, Martin, Marshall, Powell, 1st

And try to survice the next season and to stay health in the playoffs 2026 but I think there will be another suprising team, Houston, OKC, Nicks or Boston to defeat them finally.

They can try again and trade afterwards Irving, Durant and Davis finally to some 1st and start new. Really?

17 Feb 2025 15:42:57
Sixers: J Poole+ Middleton
Wizards: P George+ Oubre+ 1rnd pick clippers 26 (or swap with Thunder)+ 1rnd pick clippers 28

20 Feb 2025 21:11:05
This makes sense. George has no trade value with that contract.

14 Nov 2024 13:53:28
Thunder - Heat

Thunder get Bam Adebayo, Alec Burks

Shai/Caruso
Dort/Wiggins/Mitchell
Williams/Joe/Burks
Chet/Dieng
Adebayo/Williams

Heat get Isaiah Hartenstein, Cason Wallace, 3 1sts & pick swap

Rozier/Wallace (future)
Herro/Robinson/Richardson
Butler/Jacquez/Highsmith
Jovic/Love
Hartenstein/Ware

12 Nov 2024 00:45:13
Brooklyn - Thunder

Brooklyn get a 1st round pick & Dillon Jones

Thunder get DayRon Sharpe

Thunder needs size, especially their 3 bigs are down. Sharpe can do the work.
