Thunder’s Final Roster Move | NBA News

Oklahoma City Thunder just cleared their 15th roster spot — a bold move under Sam Presti’s calculated rebuild, even as they bid farewell to fan favorites like Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins. With the NBA’s second apron rules tightening, the Thunder are now positioned to take a calculated gamble on their final open spot, potentially starting the season with just 14 players. They’re ready to promote two-way talents like Otega Oweh or Brooks Barnhizer — or even eye fringe NBA names. Winning two straight 60-win seasons has shifted their profile, making them a surprisingly attractive destination. With the apron now permanently in place, they’re free to explore bold moves — from Russell Westbrook or DeMar DeRozan to lesser-known gems like Spencer Jones or Trendon Watford — and could even pivot mid-season or target the buyout market.
