The Thunder have swapped out Josh Giddey while adding Alex Caruso and Isaiah Hartenstein.
OKC still hasn’t relinquished any of their war chest of future draft capital along the way.

Isaiah Hartenstein has a 3-year, $87M deal with OKC, league sources confirm. The most the Knicks could offer Hartenstein max of four years, $72 million. Knicks offered that max as soon as they could make the offer, per SNY league sources. – 10:02 AM

Hartenstein got the game saving block on Maxey, has never taken a possession off and never missed a floater. Sixers will be glad to see him head west – 10:02 AM

OKC adding Caruso, Hartenstein, Topić, another 1st rounder in Jones and another early 2nd rounder in Mitchell without giving up a single 1st round pick..
..re-signing Wiggins and Joe..
..and the Clippers losing PG..
..is the ideal Thunder offseason. – 10:01 AM

a no-brainer for Isaiah Hartenstein.
the most Knicks could have offered a was a deal with an AAV of $18.1 million.
He’s getting a deal with an AAV of $29 million from OKC. – 10:00 AM

Hartenstein is a tremendous fit in Oklahoma City. He doesn’t just help with their rim protection and rebounding. Also fits perfectly into their mode of quick decision-makers. OKC offense is all about screening quick, passing quick, cutting quick. Hartenstein is the ideal player. – 10:00 AM

for those asking,
OKC agreeing to sign Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe to lucrative long-term deals does NOT impact their ability to sign Isaiah Hartenstein.
The Thunder would simply keep Wiggins’ and Joe’s small cap holds on their books (only $2.1M and $2.4M, respectively) while – 9:33 AM

On “Streets” podcast, I called Knicks favorites to make EC Finals after Bridges/draft. If free agency goes way it looks like it’s going, I’d like to take it back. PG is a Sixer. Hartenstein could be OKC-bound. His playoff grit in creating 2nd chances was priceless. Happy July 1st – 8:49 AM

Isaiah Hartenstein is a great playmaking big and a great defender.
OKC has placed a premium on passing from every position and obviously a premium on defense.
And yes.. he’s a great rebounder.
Checks a lot of Thunder boxes. The reported interest makes a lot of sense. – 4:53 PM

Fischer reporting #Knicks could still keep Hartenstein. Not sure how as they’re at $166.8M below their $178M hard cap. Jericho Sims remains at $2.1M, but they’re worth watching in the depth big market. Would they offer some of their MLE to Kornet (former NYK) or Tillman? – 3:56 PM
