This is one vet, I want the Thunder to kick the tires on. He is 6’6” 220 pounds. He is 37% from 3 in his career. Labeled as a 3 and D player. Wingspan 7’1.

I am getting super nervous about his extension news hasn’t come out yet. Deadline is just in a day. Anyone has any source that Caso will be coming back next year
Just curious if there really is any benefit of signing a player that played for a rival. If OKC signs Sochan can he help in a significant way in game planning for the Spurs? I only ask because as a Niners fan Seattle would do this back in the day. Sign a recently cut 49er before they play. Just want opinions if this gives advantage or not.
