Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won’t advise Thunder on offseason moves
Summary

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stated he will not provide input to the Oklahoma City Thunder regarding offseason decisions following a Game 7 loss. As the team faces significant financial challenges with incoming max extensions for Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, speculation surrounds potential trades, involving Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, sources suggest the Thunder are unlikely to pursue this move. The team’s front office, led by Sam Presti, is tasked with navigating their elevated payroll while evaluating options for retaining key players such as Isaiah Hartenstein and Lu Dort.
