The Oklahoma City Thunder has undergone its most transformational offseason in some time, sending out three rotational players via trade — including a starter in Luguentz Dort — as well as drafting three players and re-signing several.Now months removed from a seven-game series loss to San Antonio, OKC looks different. Though it remains to be seen whether they'll be less talented, able to re-load, or potentially even better with internal development.Below is the OKC Thunder’s 2026-27 roster, including salaries, options and the projected depth chart:Jalen Williams2026-27 salary: $41,240,250Chet Holmgren2026-27 salary: $41,240,250Shai Gilgeous-Alexander2026-27 salary: $40,806,150Isaiah Hartenstein2026-27 salary: $23,148,148Alex Caruso2026-27 salary: $19,550,160Jaylin Williams2026-27 salary: $7,774,648Cason Wallace2026-27 salary: $7,420,806Aday Mara2026-27 salary: $5,791,680Nikola Topic2026-27 salary: $5,429,760Kenrich Williams2026-27 salary: $5,000,000Thomas Sorber2026-27 salary: $4,887,720Bennett Stirtz2026-27 salary: $4,717,320Jared McCain2026-27 salary: $4,422,600Ajay Mitchell2026-27 salary: $2,850,000Otega OwehTwo-WayJosh DixTwo-WayBrooks BarnhizerTwo-WayIn off-loading players like Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Luguentz Dort, the Thunder are now officially under the second apron, and won't pay major escalators for their roster outside of the luxury tax. In the least, OKC won't be subject to trade restrictions levied by the second apron, offering needed flexibility.The Thunder's trio of stars will be the biggest earners next season, with Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren's new max contracts kicking in. The team's starting center in Isaiah Hartenstein and biggest postseason bench producer in Alex Caruso are right in tow.From there, Oklahoma City has numerous players on rookie contracts or value deals, making for a talented but manageable roster as a whole.Projected Depth Chart:Starters:Shai Gilgeous-AlexanderCason WallaceJalen WilliamsChet HolmgrenIsaiah HartensteinRotation:Ajay MitchellAlex CarusoJared McCainJaylin WilliamsBennett StirtzKenrich WilliamsEnd-of-Bench/Development:Nikola TopicAday MaraThomas SorberOtega OwehBrooks BarnhizerJosh DixWith Dort now in Atlanta, the Thunder have an open spot in the starting lineup for the first time in two seasons. Knowing head coach Mark Daigneault's affinity for point-of-attack defense, fourth-year guard Cason Wallace makes the most sense fresh off the All-Defense team, though Ajay Mitchell could offer an outside offensive option.Regardless of whether he starts or not, Mitchell is certain to be a major part of OKC's game-plan moving forward. Additionally, Caruso, Jaylin Williams and Jared McCain are next as locked-in rotational pieces.Bennett Stirtz, drafted at No. 16 overall, is a good bet to plug in for some of the scoring production lost in the Wiggins and Joe trades. And longtime Thunder veteran Kenrich Williams is likely to be looked at as a wing-option given the Thunder's lack of big-bodied defenders.The next tier is largely made up of unknowns, though under Daigneault, each and every player will get a chance to prove themselves and break into the lineup. The biggest candidates are former first-round picks in Nikola Topic, Aday Mara and Thomas Sorber.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
