Oklahoma City makes the Nique Clifford trade official.
Because they need a roster, Dalen Terry has been waived.
Thereās a $105K cap hit on the waiver.
As for Sacramento
- They had 0 seconds over the next 7 years prior to this trade.
- 2 open roster spots now available. Will have 2 weeks to sign a player.
- $6M below the luxury tax
Some more notes on this:
- OKC had up to 21 seconds available to trade
- Nique Clifford: $3.2M, $3.4M, $6M (Team)
- The trade does not hard cap OKC at the second apron since a trade exception created in the offseason was used to acquire Clifford.
I would not get caught up in the Thunder taking on additional salary for next year.
The Nique Clifford contract is comparable to the veteran minimum contract.
Ironically, Oklahoma City traded the draft rights of Nique Clifford to Sacramento for a 2027 San Antonio first (if 17-30).
A year later, Oklahoma City gets Clifford and likely the Spurs first in June.

Failure to render services is costing Kristaps Porzingis $218,341 (1/91.6 per game).
His $20M salary continues to count against the cap/tax/apron.
Bobby Marks retweeted
The Warriors are not delivering payments to Kristaps Porzingis on his $20 million salary, ruling that he is not rendering services, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater. Golden State is permitted to move his contract at any point before the Feb. 11 deadline even without paying him currently, and will continue exhausting trade avenues as the 31-year-old leans toward ending his NBA career.
Absorbing Porzingis' near-expiring deal would allow a rival team to move a salary out and save money and clear a roster spot via a buyout.
