What comes to your mind when the name “Kyle Singler” is brought up? Best player in the NBA? The Kingler? Whatever you may be thinking, there is a 98% chance that sarcasm is a significant part of your thought process.
Singler was traded to Oklahoma City over two seasons ago to provide better spacing for the OKC offense. Sadly his shooting has significantly deteriorated after signing a five year deal worth nearly $25 million two seasons ago.
Fast forward to this offseason and the Thunder are in a cap bind. 11 “active” contracts for next season add up to nearly $110 million, already $9 million over the projected cap.
