I'm still looking for OKC to make a move. They are staring down an impossible tax bill for 2026-27, so are more or less going to be forced to decline TO's on all 3 of Hartenstein, Dort, and K Williams. If they decline all 3, that still probably lands them OVER the tax line (which they avoid) with the salaries for the FRPs.
Before they dump any of those guys into free agency, they will want to sell for value if they can. But taking back salary probably is a deal-killer.
In theory they might move a diff player --- then again, who?
All in all, they have major roster-changing work staring them in the face. I have to think they aim for doing some of it now, if they can.
