Thunder Target Jones as Denver Decides | NBA News

The Oklahoma City Thunder just handed Spencer Jones a two-year, $12 million offer sheet, aiming to fill the roster spot left by traded guard Lu Dort. Denver has until Sunday to match — and if they don’t, they lose a solid rotation player without an easy replacement. OKC, already under the salary cap’s second apron after shedding key players, sees Jones as the ideal fit for depth and defense. At 6’7”, he averaged 5.5 points and 3.3 rebounds last season, shooting 41% from three on catch-and-shoots. Denver’s decision hinges on whether they can move Zeke Nnaji’s contract to afford Jones — or risk letting him walk and scrambling to find his replacement.
