What happened
Oklahoma City has agreed to a five-year, $139 million rookie-scale extension with Cason Wallace, keeping the guard with the Thunder, according to ESPN's Shams Charania and Wallace's representatives.
The deal follows Wallace's strong defensive impact and suggests he could take on a larger role after offseason roster changes, even though he came off the bench last season.
This affects Oklahoma City's guard rotation because Wallace is now positioned as a long-term core piece. His exact minutes and role still depend on how the Thunder redistribute backcourt minutes after the offseason moves.
