The NBA offseason is now the focus of the OKC Thunder and most of the teams in the NBA. Down to the Conference Semi-Finals of the postseason, all sights turn to next season besides a select few teams. So which Oklahoma City Thunder players are approaching a nerve-wracking summer?
NBA rosters change year-to-year. You will not see an organization truly run it back with 17 players. They even change within the season as we pour one out for Eugene Omoruyi, Darius Bazley, and Mike Muscala. This offseason, the OKC Thunder own one first-round pick and two second-round selections, with only see one impending free agent in the form of Dario Saric.
The OKC Thunder have a few players in danger of not returning, depending on how this offseason plays out. So who is on the chopping block for the organization?
The Oklahoma City Thunder roster is expected to take on a lot of overturns over the next few years as they continue to take on their abundance of picks. As a result, the roster construction will be tested this summer, even with just one first-round pick but two high second-round selections.
Dario Saric is the only impending free agent, and with two picks in the second round before the 40s, these second-round prospects would not accept a two-way deal, historically. So before moving past the draft, for Sam Presti to use all three selections, he would have to make a few tough decisions.
