Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to influence Lu Dort's future with Thunder

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to play a crucial role in deciding Lu Dort's future with the Oklahoma City Thunder following their loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. The team is considering adjustments, including the potential decline of Dort's contract option to free up salary cap space. Gilgeous-Alexander, who has been with Dort since 2019, may have a significant say despite claiming he won't interfere with management decisions. As both players are teammates on Team Canada, their bond complicates the decision-making process regarding Dort's contract, which may involve a restructured deal.
