HAS Oklahoma Citycontinuity is required since Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and the French Ousmane Dieng have all been extended of one year by Thunderon the eve of the launch of its regular season.
In this case, OKC activated the “team option” of the fourth years of contract of Chet Holmgren (22 years old), Jalen Williams (23 years old) but also Ousmane Dieng (21 years old), drafted in 2022, in addition to activating that of the third year of contract of Cason Wallace (20 years old ), drafted in 2023.
Nothing surprising then, when the Holmgren – Williams pair is already essential for the Thunder alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the five, not being that far from the All-Star Game. As for the Wallace – Dieng duo, he comes off the bench and the first impressed last season, while the second mainly shone in the G-League.
Team option : possibility for a team to activate (or not) the last year of the contract of one of its players, so that he ends his lease or becomes free agent a year in advance.
