Thunder's Ousmane Dieng extension decision is painfully obvious

The OKC Thunder went on an all-out spending spree this offseason, committing themselves to upwards of $877.21 million in new, standard deals, $822 million of which is tied up in the trio of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren alone.

Of those who were eligible for a rookie-scale extension, only Ousmane Dieng remains unsigned.

Heading into the offseason, many pundits were already predicting that the forward would go extensionless ahead of the 2025-26 season, and, based on their lack of negotiations over these past few months, it seems painfully obvious that such an outcome is all but certain.
