The Oklahoma City Thunder are making moves post-celebration, locking in big man Jaylin Williams with a three-year, $24 million extension. Williams, a key bench player averaging 5.9 points and 5.6 rebounds last season, has proven valuable in the Thunder's young core, especially when other bigs were sidelined. Meanwhile, guard Dillon Jones has been traded to the Washington Wizards, where he will have the chance to prove himself after a limited role in OKC.

Williams’ retention reflects the Thunder's commitment to their developing talent, while the trade opens a roster spot after their recent draft pick. The restructuring aims to enhance the team’s depth as they navigate through the next season.
