Hasheem Thabeet, Maalik Wayns
Is there a place for Hasheem Thabeet in the NBA?
We’ll soon learn the answer to that question, but if there is, it sure isn’t in Oklahoma City.
The Thunder have Steven Adams, Mitch McGary and Kendrick Perkins at center. And if they kept Thabeet past Aug. 31, they’d have to guarantee the final year and $1.25 million of his contract.
So, Oklahoma City could have simply waived Thabeet, increased its flexibility and maintained enough center depth.
Instead, the Thunder have gone a more complicated route.
