Oklahoma City Thunder Rumours

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.

11 Nov 2024 17:43:49
Hawks-Thunder

Nance for Kenrich Williams and a 1st

05 Nov 2024 16:53:48
Thunder makes a huge splash while trying to keep the core intact at the best possible way

Bucks sends: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gary Trent Jr, Pat Connaughton, Marjon Beauchamp

Thunder sends: Isaiah Hartenstein, Kenrich Williams, Cason Wallace, rights to Nikola Topic, Aaron Wiggins, 7 1st round picks, 3 pick swaps

Raptors sends: Bruce Brown, Chris Boucher (both expiring deals), 2nd round picks


To Thunder: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Gary Trent Jr, Pat Connaughton, 2nd round picks from Raptors

To Bucks: Bruce Brown (could waive or trade him for more assets), Chris Boucher, Aaron Wiggins, Nikola Topic, Cason Wallace & 5 1st round picks from Thunder, 2 pick swaps from Thunder

To Raptors: Isaiah Hartenstein, Marjon Beauchamp, Kenrich Williams, 2 1st round picks from Thunder, pick swap from Thunder


Milwaukee agree to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Thunder and make a strong big 4 with SGA-Chet-Williams. The Raptors supports the deal by taking salaries for picks

Gilgeous-Alexander, Caruso
Joe, Dort, Trent Jr
Williams, Connaughton
Antetokounmpo, Dieng
Holmgren, Williams

The Bucks add their guards of the future in Cason Wallace & Aaron Wiggins (eventually will trade Lillard & Middleton)

Lillard, Wallace, Wright
Wiggins, Topic, Johnson
Middleton, Brown
Portis, Prince
Lopez, Boucher

The Raptors making a steal getting 2 picks in the process

Quickley, Mitchell
Barrett, Agbaji, Walter
Dick, Williams
Barnes, Mogbo, Beauchamp
Hartenstein, Poeltl, Olynyk

05 Nov 2024 18:15:53
Looks way too good for the Raptors.

06 Nov 2024 09:45:22
Why would the bucks include the Raptors?

11 Nov 2024 21:11:43
I dont see how the raptors would need to be involved but I also can see the thunders pulling this trade with all there picks as they should

Send them all the clippers picks and they would need to send Williams and Wallace and maybe 4 firsts for giannis.

03 Nov 2024 17:37:06
Thunder: Giannis
Bucks: Hartenstein+K Williams+ J Williams+ 1rnd pick Clippers/Hou or Thunder 25-27+ 1rnd pick Miami 25+ 1rnd pick Philly 25+ 1rnd pick Clippers 26+1rnd pick Thunder 28+ 1rnd pick Denver 29

Thunder
C:Holmgren
PF:Giannis
SF:Dort
SG:Wiggins
PG:SGA

04 Nov 2024 17:45:07
I don't think anyone beats this offer. Good trade.

28 Oct 2024 17:05:13
Midseason megadeal

NOP/MIL/OKC

NOP get Isaiah Hartenstein, Pat Connaughton, Ousmane Dieng, 1st round pick via OKC

Pg Murray/Alvarado
Sg McCollum/Hawkins
Sf Murphy/Connaughton
Pf Williamson/Jones/Dieng
Ce Hartenstein/Theis/Missi

MIL get Brandon Ingram, Jalen Williams & 3 1sts from OKC, 2 pick swap from OKC

Pg Lillard/
Sg Middleton/Trent Jr
Sf Williams/Prince
Pf Ingram/Beuachamp
Ce Lopez/Portis

OKC get Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl

Pg SGA/Wallace
Sg Joe/Caruso/Wiggins
Sf Dort/Topic
Pf Giannis/Robinson-Earl
Ce Holmgren/Williams

28 Oct 2024 17:39:48
I know it's Giannis, but it still feels a bit rich for OKC. I'd try to keep Williams if I was them.

30 Oct 2024 15:29:55
Cut the Pels out of that.

29 Aug 2024 04:40:28
Raptors trade Bruce Brown

Thunder trade Isaiah Joe, Kenrich Williams, and the PHI 2025 1st


Raptors get a late 1st for Brown.

Poeltl/Olynyk/Boucher
Barnes/Williams/Mogbo
Barrett/Joe/Agbaji
Dick/Walter/Temple
Quickley/Mitchell/Shead


Thunder get a key rotation player for basically scraps.

Hartenstein/Jay. Williams
Holmgren/Jal. Williams/Dieng
Brown/Wallace
Dort/Caruso/Wiggins
SGA/Topic

29 Aug 2024 10:41:29
I'm not so sure OKC gives up Joe, locked in long term, by himself. And J Dub is a star he's not going to the bench lmao.

29 Aug 2024 16:02:04
Isaiah Joe is not a throw in. He's legit.

29 Aug 2024 16:29:19
Williams getting benched for Bruce Brown is just a wild thought.

01 Jul 2024 03:01:15
Cleveland gets: Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, Tari Eason, Jock Landale and 2025 first from Rockets via OKC or BKN
Utah gets: Darius Garland, Max Strus and Georges Niang
Houston gets: Jarrett Allen

Why?
Cleveland adds young quality players and dump some bad contracts.
Utah gets their point guard of the future.
Houston gets much needed size.

23 Jun 2024 04:11:11
Cleveland receives: 12th pick from OKC
Oklahoma receives: '31 top 5 protected first (top 5 '32, otherwise 2 2nds)

Why?
Cleveland gets another cost-controlled player.
OKC doesn't have more room for rookies, they need to compromise.

23 Jun 2024 12:00:16
I know what you're getting at but OKC is not at that point right now. If they had to do something like this, they could do better.

05 Jun 2024 17:42:17
Some lowkey moves from teams in the offseason if they cant pull a blockbuster trade.

Nuggets - sign Gordon Hayward
Pelicans/Magic - sign Tyus Jones
Lakers - find way to get Caruso & KCP back
Thunder - add Isaiah Hartenstein
Kings - trade away Huerter for a 3 and D wing like Caruso, Bruce Brown, etc. or PF who plays D like Vanderbilt etc.
Warriors - grab an available not so expensive big like Holmes, Capela or anyone
