Post Cut-Down Date Spending Power Update:
-OKC can still generate $34M in cap space. Notable since they’re way below the salary floor.
-Grizzlies sign Killian Tillie using a chunk of their Room MLE.
-Utah, Cleveland, and Lakers create small TPEs (not listed). pic.twitter.com/bicIQKduPR – 5:00 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Oklahoma City Thunder should have a cap hit for Miye Oni of $850,331.
Thunder sent the Utah Jazz cash in the deal for Oni and a 2028 second-round pick. Essentially, OKC bought that second rounder from the Jazz. – 4:38 PM

The Oklahoma City Thunder plan to waive Miye Oni, @Jorge Sierra has learned. – 4:24 PM
