After impressing at every possible turn this basketball season, the OKC Thunder signed Deonte Burton to a multi-year deal making the 25-year-old playoff eligible and a guaranteed member of the full-time squad.
Erik Horne of the Oklahoman broke the news of Burton’s official contract details.
It goes without saying, this is a huge moment for Oklahoma City whose wing depth has taken a severe hit with the trading of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to the Chicago Bulls and departure of Alex Abrines for personal reasons. Burton brings a dog attitude to the floor and offers OKC not only depth on the wing but high energy, hard-nosed offensive bully against guards thanks to his sheer size.
