Shai, about signings in OKC after the tough elimination: "I will not intervene at all"

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander praised the San Antonio Spurs after the defeat of Oklahoma City Thunder in the seventh game of the NBA 2026 Western Conference Finals, a result that ended the title defense of the team led by Mark Daigneault.

The Canadian point guard especially highlighted the competitive maturity of the group led by Victor Wembanyama. "They are young, talented, well-coached, play well, and seem to get along well," Gilgeous-Alexander stated. "You don't beat us without that mindset."

Following the elimination, Gilgeous-Alexander was asked about Thunder's possible moves during the upcoming free agency and NBA summer. The MVP made it clear that he does not intend to get involved in the franchise's sporting decisions.

"I won't intervene at all," he said. "I'll let Sam Presti, the best general manager in history, do his job."

A crucial summer for Thunder

Oklahoma City now faces an offseason full of important decisions to maintain its competitive core.

The franchise must deal with the team options of Isaiah Hartenstein and Lu Dort, as well as prepare for the future multimillion-dollar extensions of Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.

Despite the elimination, Thunder remains one of the most solid and young projects in the entire NBA, although it will now have Spurs as a new major rival in the West.
