Gabriel Deck – Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder are likely going to be one of the last-place finishers in the NBA this season because of all the young talents on their roster that are still growing in this league.
Gabriel Deck is only 26-years-old and has only played 10 games in the league with OKC, but his $3.68M contract for this season is very much up-in-the-air due to it being non-guaranteed.
Charlie Brown Jr., Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Roby all have non-guaranteed deals this season for the Thunder and all three guys will be fighting it out for one of the final roster spots on Oklahoma City’s roster this year. Roby’s spot seems to be secured, as does Williams, which is why Deck could be on his way out.
In 10 games last season, the Argentinian forward averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 22.4 assists and shot 47.8% from the floor, making him an intriguing player for Oklahoma City to have on their roster, but at the same time, he may not be a player the Thunder necessarily want to have long-term.

Aleksej Pokusevski and Darius Bazley are the two main forwards on this roster and the Thunder are going to be looking to develop as many young players on their roster as possible, which is why they may not be able to pay much attention to Deck.
Standing 6’8” on the wing, there are probably a few teams in the league who could be interested in adding Gabriel Deck, but at the same time, it seems a lot more likely that Oklahoma City would just waive him, allowing him to sign a guaranteed contract or two-way deal with another team in this league.
