Oklahoma City Thunder debate trading Isaiah Joe amid roster changes
Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder face potential roster changes after falling short in the playoffs. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander set for a major contract and crucial extensions for Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren on the horizon, the team may seek to trade Isaiah Joe, who has two years left on his contract. While Joe performed well during the regular season, his underwhelming playoff performance raises questions about his future with the team. The organization must weigh the value of Joe's shooting prowess against the need to adjust the roster and possibly acquire draft assets.
