Spencer Jones joins C.J. Miles in comparable Thunder offer situation

The Oklahoma City Thunder extended an offer sheet to Spencer Jones, marking the second instance of the franchise making an offer to a restricted free agent, with the first being C.J. Miles 18 years prior. The Denver Nuggets matched the Thunder's two-year, $12 million offer to Jones, similar to how the Utah Jazz matched their offer to Miles in 2008. Both players now share a narrative of almost joining the Thunder, leaving fans to speculate about what could have been. Jones was entering his third year with the Nuggets after playing five seasons at Stanford.
