Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort recently said that his main goal is to remain with the organization. His future with the organization is up in the air, with Dort having a $17.7 million team option for next season. Dort has been with the team since entering the league in 2019. His overall stats took a hit last season, but he has been a consistent option for this team for many years. This past season, Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 26.8 minutes per game in 69 contests. There could be a handful of suitors for Dort if he does hit free agency this summer.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein would like to remain with the organization long-term. His future with the team is uncertain, with Hartenstein having a $28.5 million team option for the 2026-2027 season. The big man is grateful for his time with the organization and would love to stay in Oklahoma City. This past season, Hartenstein averaged 9.2 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists across 24.2 minutes per game in 47 games. Hartenstein saw a slightly reduced role with the team during his second year with the organization. It's hard to imagine the team paying him nearly $30 million, given the depth they have on this roster. A change of scenery could help Hartenstein's overall value, but we'll see what happens this summer.

Phoenix Suns forward/center Oso Ighodaro will be back with the team next season. Recently, the organization guaranteed Ighordaro's contract for the 2026-2027 season. The Suns selected Ighodaro with the 40th overall pick during the 2024 draft. He averaged 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 82 games (24 starts) with the Suns this past season. He was mostly used in a reserve role, but saw increased playing time when Mark Williams went down due to a foot injury. Ighodaro could be in the mix for the starting center role next season. It remains to be seen what the Suns decide to do this offseason. Khaman Maluach could also be in the mix for an expanded role. Regardless, Ighodaro should take on a larger role in some capacity next season.

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate will be back with the team next year after recently having his contract guaranteed by the organization. Diabate is coming off a surprisingly solid season for the Hornets this past season. The big man averaged 7.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.9 assists across 26.0 minutes per game across 73 games. Diabate emerged as a viable starting center option for the Hornets with 47 starts across his 73 appearances. Ryan Kalkbrenner should continue to push for the starting gig after a decent rookie year. Regardless of who starts, both players should be worth a look as late-round options, with Kalkbrenner having higher overall upside.
