Kenrich Williams before the trade deadline last season: “This might sound far fetched, but I would like to retire here with the Oklahoma City Thunder.”

More on this storyline
Joe Mussatto: Regarding the Kenrich Williams extension: I’m told it’s three guaranteed years with a team option in the fourth year. -via Twitter @joe_mussatto / July 18, 2022
Bobby Marks: Williams was on a $2M non-guaranteed contract (that now becomes fully protected) for the 2022/23 season, considered one of the best bargain contracts in the NBA. The extension will start in 2023/24. This is the 7th vet extension of the offseason. Last year there were 21. -via Twitter @BobbyMarks42 / July 18, 2022
When Kenrich Williams was asked in his exit interview about the Thunder’s uncommon salary cap situation, the all-hustle forward cracked a smile. A million-dollar smile, you might say. Because the Thunder’s team payroll this season was below the league minimum, players like Williams, who spent at least half of the season with the team, will collect bonus checks upwards of $1 million each on top of their regular salaries. “We’re thankful for that,” said Williams, still smiling. “That’s pretty much all I can say about that.” -via The Oklahoman / May 1, 2022
