The Oklahoma City Thunder are still trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together after potentially losing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace for the season.
They waived forward Dalen Terry after he played just two games with the 2024-25 NBA champions.
That move was to open roster space for Nique Clifford, who was acquired in a trade with the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
Clifford could be just a temporary option for Oklahoma City. The organization may look for a more experienced player, a veteran who knows what it means to be a contributor on a team with championship aspirations.
Bleacher Report's Dan Favale listed the Thunder as a potential landing spot for Bruce Brown, who spent the preseason with the New York Knicks but did not land a roster spot out of camp.
"Bruce Brown failing to land a gig with the New York Knicks doesn't prove that he's washed. They needed a center more than another guard. The Oklahoma City Thunder are a different story," Favale wrote.
Brown won an NBA title with the Denver Nuggets in 2023, averaging 11.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game across 80 regular season contests.

He returned to the Nuggets last year and was a valuable bench piece while appearing in all 82 games.
"What Brown lacks in bankable shooting he makes up for with connective skills. He keeps the ball moving; knows how to cut and relocate in the half-court; keeps defenses guessing from short-roll territory; can get out in transition; and has the capacity to run the occasional pick-and-roll," Favale added.
If the Thunder decide Clifford or another player on the roster is worth waiving for Brown, he's a free agent they could look to sign to help with the loss of Williams and Wallace.
