Grading and examining every OKC Thunder player contract
By Aidan E
Andre Roberson:
One-year, $10 million dollars
Barring another setback, Andre Roberson will be returning to the court for the first time in nearly two years this upcoming season. It feels like only a year ago he signed an extension to stay in Oklahoma City.
With the loss of last season, Roberson is now on a very cheap expiring deal if he ever returns to his former self on defense. Roberson ranks 50th among guards in annual salary and 43rd among forwards per Spotrac.
In a world where Tyler Johnson, Evan Turner, and Allen Crabbe make 18 million a year, Roberson’s contract looks like a steal.
If the Memphis Grizzlies are seeking a first round pick in return for Andre Iguodala then the OKC Thunder should be able to get a positive return in a deal involving Roberson if they do choose to trade him.
There is some belief within league circles that the Grizzlies are prepared to take Andre Iguodala into the season unless they receive a trade offer featuring a future first-round pick

Even if the Thunder decides to keep Roberson, his defensive ability alone is worth his contract.
