On top of this, Sam Presti and co. will have a tremendous amount of cap flexibility this offseason, as they could find themselves coming into possession of more than $55 million in salary space to utilize on the free agent market if they so choose to go this route.

No matter which way you look at it, one thing is certainly for sure — this summer could see quite a few talent upgrades for the OKC Thunder.
