Thunder Lock In Hartenstein for 5 Years

The Oklahoma City Thunder just locked down Isaiah Hartenstein with a three-year deal worth $134 million over five years, keeping him through 2029. This move slashes his annual salary, helping the team avoid luxury tax penalties as they navigate extensions for Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams. Hartenstein, who proved his value by anchoring their 2025 championship run and dominating Victor Wembanyama in the Western Conference Finals, now becomes a cornerstone of their future. With free agency looming, OKC is signaling they’re all-in on building and protecting their championship core. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
