Obviously there’s no validity to this but it got me thinking.. Can we extend Caruso and still afford to pay Dub and Chet now that we have Ihart on the books for 30 mil? Need the number Gurus to figure this up. 🤔

Not a guru but I am fairly certain an extension for Caruso won’t interfere with Chet/Dub because we can go over the cap to sign them to extensions since we drafted them
We can if we front load the first year in a 3 year deal, I believe.
IHart comes off the books when dub and chet are due for extensions. Money is a problem we will have to face, but it isn’t as big as some are making out as far as I am aware. In saying this, the new cba rules are quite in depth and I don’t have a solid understanding of them, soooo, who knows
have faith in Sam, don’t you think he had his cap specialist run the potential numbers
Well it looks like to me that the Thunders plan is know on a three year path. And this is what I mean. On how he signed Wiggs, Joe, and iHart it looks like if we are contending and close to a title or won a title that they are willing to go over the cap to keep on winning or make a last push. Because how the CBA is with going over into the Aprons and being over 4 out of the 7 years, theyve positioned themselves that if they have to go over the Apron to reach the championship they can get under it real quick with the short contracts and the team options. So Alex will probably sign a two year extension to where the whole core could all sign they’re extensions in the same year. Dub, Dort, Shai, Chet, Ihart, Caruso would all get extensions one year apart. Joe, wiggins, Caso, and the other rookies would still have a year or two left still on their contracts. So tje rest of the roster would be filled by Rookies from tje 2025 class and the 2026 fill out the rest of the roster. This makes it look like Kenrich could be traded in the next year or so.. Jwill could probably stick, but Ous is going to have to show something or he is going to be pushed out.
