The Thunder have waived big man Isaiah Roby, the team announced. Roby’s $1.9MM contract would’ve become fully guaranteed if he wasn’t waived today.

Roby has spent the better part of three seasons with Oklahoma City since being acquired from Dallas midway through his rookie year in 2020. He appeared in 45 games last season, averaging 10.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 21.1 minutes per contest. He also shot an efficient 51.4% from the floor.
Assuming he clears waivers on Tueday, Roby should receive interest as a free agent, as he’s only 24 years old.
He appeared in 109 total games with Oklahoma City, holding career averages of 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per contest. The Thunder are coming off a season in which they finished with the league’s fourth-worst record at 24-58.
Is this Patty Mahomes brother lol

Roby is a decent enough young player that I would think there is a good chance that he doesn’t make it through waivers given that the 1.9 mil contract is basically the 3 year vet minimum.
I hope the Celtics claim him we have 3 open roster spots.
Fits Teis minutes
Bulls should get him.
Wonder why OKC decided to waive em even with such a cheap contract. They must see a pretty clear ceiling with this guy
When they resigned Muscala there just wasn’t a roster spot left for him. I’m sure that the Thunder hoped to trade him. But must’ve got no takers. Good player I hope that he finds a good landing place.
Making room for Giannis?
This is surprising to me even though they have a bunch of people at that position
..
Definitely goes on my list for the Heat, where there are only a handful of guys left…Resign Caleb, sign Millsap, sign Roby or one of the other could of options, and let’s go
I dont get how couple of options turns into that, but that’s been my phone every time lately…
He’s a nice fit on the Warriors…
This move is a bit suprising. He has some upside. He will absolutely be a nice grab for some team.
League GMs do a lot of odd things. The oddest would be him not landing another gig or being claimed.
