Thunder Trades Dillon Jones to Wizards: Smart Move or Big Mistake? | NBA Trade Update 2025 (USA)

Thunder Trades Dillon Jones to Wizards: Smart Move or Big Mistake? | NBA Trade Update 2025 (USA)

Yo American NBA fans—huge trade alert! The 
Thunder just shipped Dillon Jones and a future second-round pick to the Washington Wizards, 
and in return grabbed guard Colby Jones. Why the swap? OKC needed roster space after drafting 
Thomas Sorber, and freeing that slot was key. This move gives Wizards a young postseason champ 
in Jones, and Thunder a flexible cap & depth. Dillon Jones was a first-rounder in 2024, 
played 54 games with the Thunder as they chased the title. He averaged just 2.5 
PPG and 2.2 RPG, but brings championship experience. Wizards wanted that playoff DNA 
and are betting he can grow as a reliable role player in DC. They also scored a 2029 
second-rounder from OKC. Smart youth infusion. The Thunder needed room—OKC had already 
filled their 15-man roster after drafting Sorber in Round 1, so trading Dillon and 
a future pick helped them clear space and cap flexibility. They received Colby 
Jones, who the Wizards plan to waive, essentially a roster-and-financial move. Smart 
front-office maneuvering how teams win in summer. From DC’s side, Dillon fits a Wizards youth 
movement fueled by GM Will Dawkins. He joins Tre Johnson, Will Riley, and Jamir Watkins—guys with 
strong work ethic and upside in the rotation next season. Dillon’s playoff pedigree and grit line 
up with the franchise’s “culture-first” rebuild. Contract-wise, Dillon will get roughly $2.6M 
next season, with team options increasing to $5.2M by 2028. Meanwhile, OKC’s Colby 
Jones is non-guaranteed and expected to be cut—pure cap-clearing move. Wizards 
take on Dillon’s moderate salary and add future assets by snagging that 2029 pick. 
A low-risk, potential high-upside swap. Strategically, Thunder prioritize developing their 
new pick Sorber and keeping flexibility. Wizards get a battle-tested champ and a future draft 
asset. Neither team gave up core pieces—just smart roster shuffling. For Dillon, this 
could mean a bigger role in DC. For OKC, it opens the way for more impactful 
acquisitions. Win–win on paper. So NBA Nation—what’s your take? Did OKC master the 
cap game or did Washington scoop a real steal in Dillon Jones? Will Dillon thrive in D.C.’s young 
core? Drop your thoughts, smash that like if you dig these front-office moves, and subscribe
