With the 2018-19 season now over, the Oklahoma City Thunder are turning to the offseason. While the team is certainly limited financially, it does have some options available to them nonetheless.

The team has operated well over the luxury tax threshold in recent seasons and, as a result, only have access to the taxpayer mid-level exception currently projected for $5.7 million.

So, there will be no huge free agent signing this summer for OKC.

Since the team will be limited financially, its pool of players to consider in free agency will drop considerably. But they can still find some bargain bin players.

Our friends over at Bleacher Report recently speculated on some names for the Thunder to consider, with Portland Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry on the shortlist:

Look for the Thunder to bring in a guy like Seth Curry or Reggie Bullock, who may agree to play on a veteran’s minimum deal for a chance at a significant role on a playoff team. Oklahoma City is nearing a financial crisis for a team that can’t get out of the first round and has no real way of upgrading the team in free agency.

In 74 games this season, Curry averaged 7.9 points while shooting 45 percent from three-point range. Curry finished third during the regular season in three-point percentage, just ahead of his brother, Stephen.

As some Thunder fans will recall, Curry averaged 5.4 points in five games against OKC in the first round while shooting just 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Curry has certainly become one of the best deep shooters in the game and would fill a pressing need for the Thunder. Since his numbers don’t jump off of the page, he could be in the price range for the Thunder to consider. Shooting is a huge need across the NBA so there could be a team that offers to pay Curry a bit more than what the Thunder can offer.

While the Thunder likely won’t have a financial advantage over other teams in free agency, they can offer prospective players a chance to play on a contending team. Being on the same team as Paul George and Russell Westbrook could also be attractive for guys, too.

The fit for Curry and the Thunder appears to be strong as well. The Thunder have their starting lineup set firmly as it stands but lacked depth at the shooting guard position behind Terrance Ferguson as general manager Sam Presti noted during his end of the season press conference this week. Curry started just two games in Portland so he would likely be comfortable coming off of the bench.

It will likely come down to how Curry approaches the summer. Of course, the Trail Blazers are still playing in the postseason so it is likely something he hasn’t thought of much but it will be interesting to see how he views the Thunder as a potential destination.

With free agency still two months away, Curry should be a name for the Thunder to consider once that time comes to begin contacting prospective players.
