Thunder Draft Storm:
- The Thunder traded Aaron Wiggins to Hawks for a couple second-round picks, in the first bummer transaction involving a player from the 2025 championship squad: "The 55th pick in the 2021 draft, Wiggins embodied the hard-work development program that has defined the Thunder's championship rebuild more than top-end draft selections of tanking eras past."
- Zach Kram (ESPN) gives OKC a B grade for the deal.
- Michael Scotto (HoopsHype) links Lu Dort to the Lakers and Nets, among other teams. Scotto adds that rival teams "circling the wagons" on Isaiah Joe, and that Kenrich Williams will have a healthy market if OKC declines his option and lets him hit free agency.
