• Thunder's Isaiah Joe: Stays in OKC on four-year deal

  07/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Joe agreed Monday with the Thunder on a four-year, $48 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The Thunder had previously declined Joe's $2.16 million team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, but that was likely a gesture of goodwill as the organization looked to keep the sharpshooting wing in the fold on a longer-term pact. Though he projects to remain a bench player for the Thunder moving forward, Joe has proven to be one of the league's top long-range snipers even while starting in just 11 of his 151 regular-season appearances with Oklahoma City across the past two campaigns. Over that stretch, he's converted 41.2 percent of his 747 three-point attempts.

  The Thunder declined Joe's $2.1 million team option Saturday, but the team is expected to work with the 24-year-old on a long-term deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Joe proved to be a solid contributor in his second season with the Thunder in 2023-24, averaging 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.3 assists in 18.5 minutes per game over 78 appearances while shooting 41.6 percent from downtown. which he averaged 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 18.5 minutes. The 24-year-old started in the Thunder's final two postseason games while the slumping Josh Giddey was demoted to the second unit and eventually traded to Chicago earlier in the offseason, but Joe will likely stick in a bench role during the upcoming campaign, assuming he re-signs with Oklahoma City.

  Joe is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against Dallas, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports. Joe replaces Josh Giddey in the first unit, a relatively unsurprising move considering Joe has played more minutes than Giddey in three straight games. Despite his starting status, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the three-point specialist to see normal starter's minutes. Instead, he'll likely settle in at around the high teens or low twenties.
