The Oklahoma City Thunder are not considering trading Chet Holmgren as they prepare for an important offseason, according to a report from Jake Fischer.
OKC has several roster decisions ahead, including team options involving Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort and Williams. However, sources reportedly insist that moving Holmgren is not part of the plan.
One observer described Holmgren as the NBA's best defensive player aside from one, an apparent reference to Victor Wembanyama. The comment highlights why the Thunder still view the 24-year-old big man as a central part of their championship core.
Holmgren's combination of rim protection, shooting and mobility remains difficult to replace. Despite the trade speculation that often follows a playoff exit, Oklahoma City appears committed to keeping him alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams.
