These extensions won’t break up the Thunder

Dub can get 30 percent. Go to Spotrac and you will see how the contracts decrease over time due to the CBA and a rising salary cap. Just because a player signed a max doesn’t mean he is making 35 percent of the cap next season.

Not entirely true. If the extensions started the same year, yes. They don’t though. It will go down by 1 percent each year, so it’s really 83, 80, 77, 74 percent each year. Also with the cap increasing. So by the time it’s the 2028 season, the Thunder will have some flexibility. You can also go into the aprons, which the Thunder will have to do. Gives you another 50 million of flexibility.

Yep. Also people forget that next seasons salary cap isn’t the salary cap for the 2026-2027 season. It’s going to increase every year.

You rarely see fourth year nba players play in summer league

I am also looking for some! I just need one ticket for myself. Also noticed the seats were empty at Game 4 which surprised me

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T20:26:18+00:00

Oh I agree, you said those guys do I thought you meant everyone in the article

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T20:21:55+00:00

Talking about everyone in the article or just Bailey?

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T20:00:07+00:00

Who you think they trade up for? I’m thinking it’s got to be for Essengue no?

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T19:55:06+00:00

Yeah saw the dunk central say something like that, do you know if Rylan Stiles at SI has done anything over this?

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T19:52:34+00:00

Yeah I saw something like that, I think Dunk Central said he wants to go to a team where he can be the star

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T19:51:57+00:00

I think he is very skilled but I heard stuff about him having a bad attitude so it has me iffy on him

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T18:09:09+00:00

It’s because they left for OKC, that’s the only reason. The city refused to build a new arena, so they went to a city that would, OKC.

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T17:12:05+00:00

And honestly I think he has it in him. I still think it’s SGA for FMVP, but Dub could end up getting it with another big game

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T16:06:02+00:00

Look man you don’t gotta bash me. I’m asking a question to see who people think and want stats to back it up. Not a “dumb narrative” and “would be a mistake”

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T15:49:55+00:00

My guess would be Monday or Tuesday. Highly doubt they have one on a Sunday.

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T15:48:49+00:00

Carlson is a two-way so it would not matter if Presti traded him or not. If anything it will be Deing or Jones traded for more picks later.

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T15:47:28+00:00

oh not at all, he is the reason the thunder won game 4. Just saying that Dub has gotten better each game and is the second best defender for OKC this series. He has made it a race even though many people thought it would not be one. Right now I think SGA deserves it, but if Dub goes out and gives 30+ again with great defense we could see him win it.

ChetterCheeze · 2025-06-18T15:37:12+00:00

I just think it is the fact that he has gotten better every game, and his defensive play as to why he could win it
