The Thunder can pick it up or turn it down, and that single move shapes the rest of the offseason discussion around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Oklahoma City wants more cap flexibility, declining the option could free up room. If it wants continuity, exercising the option keeps a proven contributor in place without a longer negotiation.

Lu Dort is also facing a team-option decision, and his comments sound similar: he trusts the organization and wants to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That parallel matters because it shows Oklahoma City may be weighing more than one familiar rotation piece at once.
