Sam Presti and the OKC Thunder are coming off an eventful NBA Draft week in which the team made three picks and dealt away two key rotation players who helped win the 2025 championship.
The Thunder agreed to trade guard Aaron Wiggins to the Atlanta Hawks for a pair of future second-round draft picks on June 21. Five days later, OKC dealt guard Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons for a pair of future second-round draft picks.
In between, the Thunder made three selections in the 2026 NBA Draft on June 23-24 — taking Michigan center Aday Mara (12th), Iowa guard Bennett Stirtz (16th) and Kentucky guard Otega Oweh (41st).
Here are the latest NBA rumors ahead of free agency, which begins 5 p.m. CT Tuesday, June 30:
REQUIRED READING: Will OKC Thunder bring back Lu Dort, Kenrich Williams? Examining team options
OKC has a $17.2 million team option on Dort. OKC will become a second-apron team if it picks up Dort's option, but it could always save money during the season. Going into the second apron shouldn't influence OKC's decision on Dort, who'll likely get his team option picked up.
