Cason Wallace joined Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady on the Cousins podcast, for a wide-ranging interview covering his career, the upcoming Thunder season, and the pitfalls of playing one-on-one against a WNBA girlfriend. There's no contract extension talk, but the whole episode is worth a watch. Some of the best OKC nuggets are below.

"While Cason Wallace is considered a much more valuable player due to his youth and capable shooting, it must be noted that he averaged virtually identical minutes, scoring, and three-point shooting as the departing starter he's likely to replace: Lu Dort. Dort was set to make $17.7MM this season. On the one hand, Peyton Watson’s squeeze could give the Thunder reason to hold the line on a lower number as Wallace watches a version of what could be his own disappointing future play out.

On the Radar: Will Cason Wallace get extended this week? Cason Wallace hasn’t been extended, and there’s been no hint of a deal aside from one social media post. As much as we’d like some encouraging summer news, there’s no reason to fret that nothing’s been announced. With an increasingly team-friendly market shaping up and no deadline until the eve of the regular season, there’s no reason for OKC to rush.

The bolts below include a nugget that could confirm two popular Thunder . Theory A: The Warriors were iffy on taking Yaxel Lendeborg at #11, and open to trading with the Thunder and letting Oklahoma City scoop him. Theory B: The Warriors knew OKC probably didn't want Yaxel, and thought moving down would be a safe way to grab some free second rounders and still get their guy.

On the Radar: This week's schedule Nada. Summer ball is over. The great Thunder salary shedding of 2026: complete. And the biggest free agency saga has run its course: the Nuggets matched OKC's offer to restricted free agent Spencer Jones. Clickbait, AI slop, and gambling enragement bait will fill your social media algorithm if you let it.

Happy weekend. Thank you for your support of Daily Thunder. VIDEO
