OG Anunoby is reportedly "not thrilled" with the contract offer from the New York Knicks, raising the question of whether the Oklahoma City Thunder should pursue him in free agency, despite initial expectations of him staying with the Knicks.

By the Numbers
  • Anunoby shot 39 percent on 3-pointers in 23 games with the Knicks.
  • He is set to decline nearly $20 million for next season to seek a long-term contract with a potential annual salary of over $35 million.
Yes, But

There is still a possibility that Anunoby may ultimately decide to stay with the Knicks, as many observers believe, despite his reported dissatisfaction with their offer.

State of Play
  • Anunoby's potential move to the Thunder could significantly impact the team's chances of contending for the NBA Finals next season.
  • The Thunder have around $35 million in cap space to potentially make a competitive offer for Anunoby.
What's Next

If the Knicks do not meet Anunoby's salary expectations, the Thunder could make a strong push to secure him in free agency, enhancing their roster for the upcoming season.

Bottom Line

The Oklahoma City Thunder face the opportunity to pursue OG Anunoby in free agency, potentially bolstering their team and elevating their competitiveness in the NBA.
