Oklahoma City Thunder Rumours

30 Jun 2026 22:33:30
Grizzlies get Cason Wallace
Thunder gets Utah 2027 and Magic 2030 picks

Grizzlies can add Cam Spencer or trade him to third team and send whatever they get for him

Thunder won't be able to resign Wallace anyway

23 Jun 2026 10:43:53
?Heat-LAL-Mavs-Thunder

Heat get LBJ s&t, Klay Thompson, Isaiah Joe, Nnaji Marshall
= LBJ end his career where he won his first title and hopefully ends it with a chance at multiple chips, then adds some shooters that are needed when you have a dominant force inside
- resign Powell

LeBron - Mitchell
Thompson - Joe
Powell - Larrson - Gardner
Giannis - Marshall - Fontecchio
Adebayo - Portis

LAL get Daniel Gafford, Lu Dort & Andrew Wiggins
= adds hard nosed defenders to cover up Luka and Reaves

Doncic - Smart - Bronny
Reaves - Kennard
Dort - Hachimura - Knecht
Wiggins - Vanderbilt
Gafford - Hayes

Mavs get 12th, 17th, 25th, Ayton, Laravia
= trades the 9th pick for 3 1sts to add more young talents via draft

Thunder get 9th pick, Jovic
= adds another young guys they can develop and saves money in the process

SGA - Wallace - Topic
McCain - Caruso
Williams - Mitchell - 9th pick
Chet - Jovic
Hartenstein - Williams

23 Jun 2026 00:09:49
Thunder Pelicans

Thunder - Murphy

Pelicans - Dort, Joe, 12th pick, 2 future 1st rd picks

Thunder would be more dangerous using their assets

Sga Caruso
Williams McCain
Murphy Mitchell
Chet 17th pick
Hartenstein Williams.

22 Jun 2026 17:10:21
Cavs get: Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Kenrich Williams, 12th pick and '27 srp Denver via Bulls
Thunder get: Evan Mobley and decline Lu Dort
Bulls get: Isaiah Joe

Why?
Cavs add good fitting pieces next to Mitchell. Wallace becomes our PG.
Thunder get a versatile young big that fits nicely next to SGA.
Bulls add a shooter for cheap.

Oklahoma City-Sacramento-Dallas

Oklahoma City get #7 pick via Kings (Nate Ament), Caleb Martin

Sacramento get #9 pick via Dallas, #13 pick via OKC, #17 pick via OKC, future 1st round pick via OKC, Daniel Gafford (can flip for another 1st), Isaiah Joe, Klay Thompson (buyout)

Dallas get Domantas Sabonis, Aaron Wiggins, 2nd round picks from Sac

Reasoning
Oklahoma City move up in the draft by using their assets and select a PF to develop while dumping some money in the process

The Kings trade away Sabonis and his salary to gain more assets and develop Raynaud as their future starting center

Dallas make a move for Sabonis to help out Kyrie and Cooper compete.

16 Jun 2026 21:11:43
Seems wildly good for Sacramento. Trading down only 2 spots and they get a king's ransom.

I see that Sabonis is also a part of the trade. He probably has neutral value at best.

Two trades to do full rebuild in 2026 draft

First………
Sixers and GSW Trade

76ers get J. Butler and 11th pick 2026 draft.

GSW get PG 13 and 22nd pick 2026 draft.

Butler won't play until after All-Star break. So GSW use PG13 to win now…..


Second…….


Sixers and OKC Trade

76ers get 12th and 17th pick 2026 Draft.

OKC gets unprotected 2028 LA Clippers and 2030 1rnd pick ((76ers)).





Sixers:
Draft a PF/C at 11th (((or move up using multiple picks))) Nate Ament, Lendeborg or Karim Lopez

Draft a SF/PF at 12th Cam Carr or Allen Graves

Draft a PG or C at 17th Chris Cenac, Aday Maya or (((one of the big PGs that dropped out of the Top of the “TOP 15 Lottery”.


((((((((((((Thoughts??????)))))))))

Hawks Off-Season

Trade 1: #23, Kispert to Nets for Day’Ron Sharpe

Hawks get off a bad contract while adding a solid backup big behind Okongwu.

Trade 2: #8 to OKC for #12, #17, Aaron Wiggins

Resign McCollum and Landale. Negotiate a lower AAV with Kuminga or just pick up his team option. Waive Hield.

Draft Carr #12 and Okorie #17

McCollum/NAW/Okorie
NAW/Dyson/Wiggins/Carr
Dyson/Risacher/Wiggins/Kuminga
JJ/Kuminga/Newell/Gueye
Okongwu/Sharpe/Landale

Nothing too flashy but get some center depth and take two swings on guards to see if either work out.

09 Jun 2026 18:07:20
I like your acquisition of Sharpe. I agree with the resignings. I’d rather make the pick at 8 than make the trade for depth. We have the potential for better long term quality. Believe pick at 23 we might be able to get one of the picks you got at 12 and 17.

I also believe a big man or two will be available at 23 and will be a good value pick. I think someone in that range is going to fall on draft night and we’ll be in position to take advantage.

Thunder retool

Thunder - Pelicans

Thunder > Murphy III, Looney
Pelicans > Hartenstein, Wiggins, 3 1st round picks

Thunder - Mavericks

Thunder > Gafford & Klay
Mavericks > Joe, Dort & 1st round pick

Thunder use their assets to retool adding more veterans and a swingman who is very young and ready

Thunder new roster
- resign Cason Wallace

PG - SGA / McCain / Topic
SG - Williams / Wallace / Caruso
SF - Murphy / Thompson / Mitchell
PF - Holmgren / Williams
CE - Gafford / Looney

A bigger, longer & more athletic line up, great on both ends of the floor.

05 Jun 2026 04:47:05
With OKC losing in the WCF I can see them shedding a little salary for those young guys and maybe adding more size to match up with Wemby.

So let's start with them shedding salary.

Raptors Thunders. Raptors need center and more importantly a defensive sg.

Raptors get Turner and Dort.

OKC get Giannis.

Bucks get Chet and Bi, Grady Dick and 2 future first from the Raptors and 2 future first from the Thunder.



OKC bring one of the best PF playing next to SGA.

Raptors get an upgrade at center and another Canadian hard nose type player to help the back court.

Bucks get a tpung big and a craft forward whos got alot of life left and something to prove. And 4 first round picks to use.

01 Jun 2026 09:12:50
Thunder: Jokic
Denver: C Holmgren + Hartenstein + return first round pick Denver 27-29

01 Jun 2026 11:49:50
Not enough for Jokic.

01 Jun 2026 14:20:04
I don't know if that isn't enough.
They get a young star and their future back.

Jokic is a top three player in this league, but Denver has little chance winning another title with him. Jokic is 31, they don't have the picks to trade for another star and they don't have the capspace to sign a big free agent.

They can trade Murray and Gordon for more picks and they can start a rebuilt around Holmgren.

01 Jun 2026 22:54:35
Yup that’s not enough for a 31 years old superstar who is still in his prime. Let’s get serious.

12 May 2026 10:16:06
SAC - OKC

OKC exercises team options on Hartenstein, Dort. Declines team options on K. Williams.

Thunder receive: Sabonis
Kings receive: Hartenstein, Joe, Wiggins, '26 1st #17

Thunder depth:
SGA / Mitchell / Topic
Dort / Wallace / McCain
Williams / Caruso / #37
Holmgren / #12 Lendeborg / Vet min FA
Sabonis / Williams / Sorber

12 May 2026 12:05:59
Sabonis is not what the OKC culture is.

14 May 2026 10:48:00
Hartenstein is a better fit in that OKC team.

02 Mar 2026 12:48:55
Lose, then build AND win : )

Mavs may be lucky again? And draft for Peterson? If not, use both picks to draft Acuff, he is a two way player but first of all a real point guard. Or San Antonio will learn, they need something more, because they will neither reach the finals nor the conference one, Den, OKC or even Minny will be better in playoffs. Harper needs three year to become a star player. So maybe before drafts happen:

SAN Irving, Washington, 2x1st 2026
DAL Harper, Bryant

In any case Mavs send out Martin, 2nd and offer max 120m/4y to Eason that Houston may not be able to match, the perfect 3&D forward, having Christie at 3&D guard.

So Mavs add Peterson, Harper or Acuff and Eason - have the new, young 5 and even the old team around - to win immediately. After that, I may have a try to watch a game.

Dit the Pacers and the clippers win or lose this trade?
(The biggest winner is probably OKC)

I think this is a winner for the clippers.
They have to pay Mathurin big, but it's difficult to get good free agents and they get two first round picks (possible two unprotected picks) for an non- all star

I like Zubac going to the Pacers, but it's a steep price. I feel unconfortable that the picks are fully unprotected



Clippers:
trade Leonard for more picks
C:I Jackson
PF:Collins
SF:Mathurin
SG:B Beal
PG:Garland

Pacers:
Draft: Dybantsa (hopefully)
C:Zubac/ Huff
PF:Siakam/ Toppin
SF:Nesmith/ Walker
SG:Nembhard/ Dybantsa
PG:Haliburton/ McConnell.

10 Feb 2026 16:45:45
Zubac probably wasn't available, which is likely the reason Indiana had to overpay. He's a great big man.

I see it as a win-win.

18 Jan 2026 11:32:28
Mavs need to act, since they will win to much games to get a top pick use the value!

It works for all the teams! SAN and CHI get better now and DAL build the future:

Happy to cheering the growing!

CHI Irving, Johnson, Exum
DAL Harper, C. Bryant, Essengue
SAN Davis, White, Marshall

Mavs take and release Carter, Huerter, Barnes, Olynyk to make the CAP work.

CHI gets Irving over White and Johnson over Essengue.
SAN gets Davis over Barnes, White replace Harper and Marshall replace Johnson.
DAL gets Harper to build PG as well Bryant/ Essengue on PF to complement Lively, Flagg, Christie and hope to become the next OKC.

16 Jan 2026 17:59:17
Thunder-Clippers-Pelicans

Thunder get Zubac, Murphy

SGA/ Caruso
Williams/ Joe
Murphy/ Wiggins
Holmgren/ Williams
Zubac/ Williams

Clippers get Pelicans 1st 2029 lottery protected, Hartenstein, Peavy

Pelicans get Clippers 1st 2026 via Thunder, Dort, Topic, Jones Jr.

03 Dec 2025 21:20:27
Get ready to rumble!

LA Giannis, Portis, Love, Prince, Harris, Paul, Alex, Thanasis
MIL Reaves, Hachimura, LaRavia, Hayes, Vanderbilt, Kleber, Vincent, 1st (2027 Laker via JAZ)
JAZ Knecht, 2nd, 2nd
CLI Smith Jr.

Defeats OKC and finally Detroit.

Ayton - Portis
Giannis - Love
James - Prince
Luca - Harris
Smart - Paul

And the kids : ) Bronny, Alex, Thanasis

03 Dec 2025 23:02:36
Nah. The Lakers wont have enough to get Giannis.

04 Dec 2025 14:50:59
Am I crazy to say that I hate the Luka/ Giannis pairing? Luka is -heavily- ball dominant. Giannis does not want to play like a big. They both want to ball in their hands during a P&R. And both aren’t good off ball.

Wildly talented. But horrible fit.

04 Dec 2025 15:22:11
Agree with BMiller. Maybe send Giannis to Dallas and Davis back to LA. He will fit better lmao.

04 Dec 2025 20:20:37
Both, Giannis and Luca can hit open 3s - what they would have a lot have as well as open space to drive to the rim. It would be more important, when James and Smart would also hit their open 3s on a high level to make such a team work well.

If the Bucks do not want Reaves but rebuild by picks, the trade could send Hachimura to Detroit to get a first, LaRavia, Knecht, Thiero ot Jazz to get the LA 1st back and Reaves to Dallas for 3 x 1st, since Mavs want to win and Reaves would fit well.

Finally Bucks would get 5-6 1st picks - more than everywhere.

04 Dec 2025 20:49:33
Lacon that’s a pipe dream for us Lakers fans. No way the Jazz trade a 1st for those guys. Dallas wont make the same mistake again. And Hachimura doesnt move the needle for detroit to give a 1st as well.

02 Dec 2025 05:52:56
Okc- Kenrich Williams, Dieng, jazz top 8 protected pick 2026, 2026 2nd
Jazz- filipowski, Niang

Okc gets upgrades in their forward depth and get some potential with Filipowski and use the draft pick that likely won't get conveyed to add for their championship run. Jazz get control of their draft pick so they don't have to worry about tanking and get an extra second.

Okc- topic, future 2nd
Grizzlies- cam Spencer

Okc adds guard depth and shooting at a lower cap hit for the next few years and Memphis gets a player with a higher ceiling in a year where they are in limbo and could benefit from looking forward to the future to build around some good young talent.

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.
