Luguentz Dort might typically be in line for a contract extension, but the Oklahoma City Thunder face a complex situation, according to Bobby Marks of ESPN.
In his offseason guide, Marks explains that Oklahoma City already has major financial decisions looming regarding potential extensions for stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams.
Balancing those priorities will make it more difficult to commit to Dort long-term at this stage.
Additionally, Marks anticipates that the Thunder will take an active approach on the trade front, exploring deals involving their two first-round picks and a second-rounder in Wednesday’s draft.
This suggests that Oklahoma City could be seeking immediate upgrades or more strategic draft positioning to align with their roster-building timeline.
