The Thunder, like a handful of other teams, is expected to be active on the forthcoming buyout market, per ESPN’s Royce Young.

OKC was apparently hesitant to change things up too much at the deadline as they’ve just started to hit their stride. The team went through a lot of change this offseason and management didn’t want to rock the boat on a team that was still building its chemistry. For veterans seeking a deep playoff run, there aren’t many more appealing destinations on the board. Look for the Thunder to be tied to the bigger names on the market as teams start releasing their veterans.
