The Oklahoma City Thunder carry $216,728,913 in salary for 2026-27, the 4th largest payroll in the league.
That is $51.8M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.
They are $16.3M over the $200.4M luxury-tax line, and at that payroll the tax bill projects to $28,249,196 — a combined cost of $244,978,109.
Above the first apron at $209.0M, they lose the non-taxpayer mid-level, cannot take back more salary than they send out in a trade, and cannot acquire a player by sign-and-trade. They stay +$5.0M clear of the second apron.
This team has 15 players on standard contracts and 3 two-way deals.
Chet Holmgren is the largest cap hit on the roster at $41,240,250, 19.0% of team payroll, ahead of Jalen Williams ($41.2M) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($40.8M).
They have $44,954,579 of spending power available across 5 exceptions, the largest a $17.7M TPE (Luguentz Dort).
Committed salary rises to $260,999,368 for 2027-28, held by 13 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.
