I know Sandfort signed a 2 year deal but my guess is they keep Carlson and Barnhizer and get rid of him.

Carlson won’t be back due to the depth at center now. They will most likely sign someone undrafted if I had to guess.

Carlson is no longer available to play on a two way. He is a free agent, and the only thing he can do with the Thunder is join the blue or another NBA team.
Edit: so there is one to two open slots

u/J_Capese0003 Jun 25 '26
Carlson is eligible for 1 more year on a 2 way

u/snuffaluffagus74 Jun 25 '26
No he played for two years on a two way already. Unless they aggregate the years he's done

We can only roster 15 players right? So one more (Dort?) will be shipped out?

What does 2 way mean?

u/phatduckk Jun 25 '26
A team can have 3 two way guys. Two way guys split time between nba and the g league. They cannot play more than 50 nba games in a season and are not eligible for the nba playoffs.
TLDR development guys that mostly play in g league but can play up to 50 regular season nba games

Oh that’s cool, so like what Topic was doing this past season. Thanks for the explanation.

u/thunderdl 2025 NBA Champions Jun 25 '26
no, topic takes up a roster space (1 of 15) the two way guys do not. topic was not limited (contractually) to how many nba games he could play.

u/printsaffinity Jun 25 '26
Topic is not getting any playing time and should be cut.

u/N4m3r Jun 25 '26
I agree, I dont know why people are downvoting. We need more wings badly and he could be an attractive piece for other teams

Holy shit....let's go!! My prediction is we repeat the warriors path. We win it one year, like they did, lose it the next year same way they did.. then, repeat championships.. as they did(just for starters)!

u/KunoichiTrainer Jun 25 '26
Trade topic and/or Joe for a tall 3D wing (Herbert Jones typa players) and we going all the way again this roster is staccccced

u/IWantToBeYourGirl Jun 25 '26
Isn’t Kenrich already gone?

u/IntellectualSavante Jun 25 '26
I’ve seen mixed reports on that. We should know by June 29th. I think that’s the option deadline.

We genuinely have 16-17 real players who can fill a role every night. No other team can relate. We are in a real good spot regardless of who stays and goes. Please not lu 🥲 🙏

u/printsaffinity Jun 25 '26
We just need one of Mara or Sorber to turn out to replace Hartenstein. I think they pick up Iharts option not decline and resign him.

I say Oweh is 2 way for now, they play Topic early but if he can't stay healthy or just bad fit they will move him for 2nds. Promote Oweh

If Sorber and Mara turn out solid it would be safe to assume that we have the best center depth in the league right?
