As the NBA rosters settle for the 2025-26 season, former Oklahoma City Thunder players are finding new opportunities. Lindy Waters III, an undrafted rookie turned G League standout, signed a one-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs. He notably progressed from a two-way contract to a standard deal during his time with the Thunder, showcasing his development potential.

Jared Butler, who had a brief stint with the Thunder last season, has signed with the Phoenix Suns after bouncing around the league. His resilience is commendable as he manages to secure a standard deal after various transitions. Meanwhile, Colby Jones, although previously part of the Thunder, was waived and is now on a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons, underscoring the challenges faced by players seeking stability in the league.
