NBA Free Agency Frenzy: Thunder Moves & Targets

In this episode of The Uncontested, we dive into the excitement of the first day of NBA free agency! The Thunder made news by not picking up team options on Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe. We analyze what this decision means for the roster moving forward and how it impacts the Thunder's strategy.
We also discuss the breaking news that the Thunder were reported to be in Eugene, Oregon, meeting with Isaiah Hartenstein at the start of free agency. We examine Hartenstein's fit with OKC, potential contract details, and other free agent and trade targets the Thunder might be considering. Additionally, we take a close look at the value of the Clippers’ picks now that Paul George is gone and the possibility of combining Hartenstein with a trade to maximize the Thunder’s assets.
In our Hot Take of the Week segment, we offer a bold prediction related to free agency. Then, we dive into our Take It Or Leave It: Free Agency Edition, where we debate several provocative topics. Will the Thunder’s 2026 Clippers pick land in the top 8 now that PG is gone? Will the Denver Nuggets have the third or worse best odds to win the championship at the start of next season? Will the Thunder trade one or more of their current roster players before Summer League? Will the Lakers make a free agent signing or trade that convinces the national media they are title contenders? Will the Pelicans be viewed as one of the top teams in the West at the start of the season? Will the Thunder make a trade before signing a free agent?
In our Around the Association segment, Jacob lists free agents, and we predict which teams will land each player. Join us for all the latest updates, hot takes, and expert analysis on the Thunder’s free agency moves!

I had a quick stop in OKC this past week and got a chance to stop by Dave's next to Paycom. The medium heat sliders (#2 combo) was way hotter than I thought, but it was really good. Pretty good spot, I would recommend it.

Been in the culinary industry for over 20 years and can’t lie, was impressed and surprised to see OKCs rating for restaurants in the USA. Props to that growth!
