Several NBA teams are reportedly interested in acquiring Oklahoma City Thunder role players Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins this summer. Both players have team-friendly contracts remaining but experienced limited action in the playoffs, prompting speculation about their future. With the Thunder's payroll expected to rise significantly due to high-profile players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, the team may look to trade Joe and Wiggins for draft assets while introducing younger players. Their production during the regular season makes them appealing additions for potential suitors aiming to reinforce their benches.

- •Both players played significant roles during the regular season but were sidelined in playoffs.
