That would be like firing an employee, but they have to stay around for a year. My thought is if they don’t see him in their plans, they’d just cut him before the option deadline date.
Or he’s just not proven enough to justify the option. If he plays well they can still re-sign him at potentially more than what he was due.
this happens in the nfl all the time when a first round pick has his fifth year option declined then balls out
No they can’t. He becomes unrestricted for everyone but us. SA can only pay him what his option would have been, like $2.5M.
Ah didn’t know that
We can open up$ 2,698,066.00 in cap space so we can only claim Garuba, Washington, Jaylin, Joe, JRE, Wiggins, White. Other likely cuts like Mann and Poku has to clear waivers for us to sign.
Always been an Oladipo fan. Wanted him to be in silver and black for years. Too bad he has had so many injuries.
From an aggregator: “The Oklahoman, Joe Mussatto predicts that Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Victor Oladipo, Jack White, Usman Garuba and TyTy Washington are the the most likely players to be on the chopping block due to the Thunder‘s roster crunch.”
Any of those guys still good? And, can a TyTy or Garuba type even be eligible for a 2-way deal if they were once FRPs?
Jack White is a good guitarist, Oladipo is washed, JRE is alright, but we already have kind of a crunch at the 4/5, Garuba is a scrub, and TyTy is unknown but crushed it in limited games in the gleague, 30/7/7 in 5 games.
On the Lowe podcast last week I found it interesting that when the delved into this topic, that there is a popular logic that Giddy will be the odd man out when OKC looks to consolidate assets and make a move for a star. Makes some degree of sense in that Giddy is a young player who has flashed and still shows upside - but I would have assumed he was one of OKC's untouchables. Lowe's guest did disagree with this logic and say that Giddy would be untouchable for him.
Spurs won't be able to be a contender for Giddy, because the whole point of OKC moving him would be to pair with FRPs in exchange for a bona fide star... but I did find this quite interesting.
Don't teams have until late October to trim to their final rosters? This could be a long wait.
I think the season starts like the 3rd week of October, and preseason games maybe the second week. Cuts probably have to happen by maybe the 15th, but you’re right, it won’t be soon.

Bumpity bump!@Rylan_Stiles The Oklahoma City Thunder has waived guard TyTy Washington Jr. Per Thunder PR
let’s sign him. He’ll probably be better than half our point guards even just as a g league super star.
Ty Ty reminds me a bit of a poor man's Juan Dixon. Not a true point guard, not a top-tier athlete, but a good player.
Blake Wesley might have more tools.
Washington will already be 22 in November.
Don't we still have a 3rd two way contract left ? Could possibly be a candidate for that unless he wants a minimum deal which we have no room for right now.
How time flies.
past his prime already…
OK, just revisited his bbref page, and for some reason, the tab that comes up by default is playoffs, so those numbers were for the gleague playoffs.
Here are his numbers,p/a/r, by game type:
Playoffs
5 games, 30/7/7
Regular season
8 games,26.6/7.6/6.6
Cup play, usually December
10 games, 20/4.7/2.9
There are no game logs for gleague pages, so I can’t tell you when those games were played, but cup games would be in December, and the playoffs would be either late March or early April, so it looks like he improved as the season progressed.
Whether or not he is a fit for the Spurs is another question, but I find it hard to believe that a guy one year removed from the first round (and IIRC, he kind of fell in the first round beyond expectations, did he not?) who performed very well in the G-League won't find a home UNLESS there is something up with his at ude?
Comparing TyTy vs Blake in G-League regular season games. TyTy cut down on TO by 0.8 and improved to .353 3P% in the playoffs, but his numbers also need to take into consideration his heavy minutes. 41.2 MPG in the G-League playoffs.
GP MPG FG% 3P% 2P% FT% REB AST STL TOV PPG TyTy Washington 8 38.4 .407 .257 .510 .865 4.3 7.6 1.6 3.6 26.6 Blake Wesley 11 29.6 .439 .375 .459 .667 3.8 2.8 2.0 2.8 20.9
I had said before I would be interested in making a run at Washington but what do I know, I wanted Roby when OKC waived him last season.
Seems like a no brainer to occupy the third two-way spot if possible
He'd still be on the Rockets if they weren't trying to shed salary and spots in their offseason makeover. Atlanta didn't want him or Garuba and OKC didn't want him or Garuba. He'll probably get picked up somewhere.
I agree. Also, the Rockets are stupid. Pop would say they're skipping steps.
