NBA World Reacts To Thunder-Wizards Trade

Many people reacted to the trade on social media.

Greg Finberg: "New Wizards F Dillon Jones:

Age: 23
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 235

2024-25 stats:
2.5 PPG | 2.2 RPG | 1.1 APG
38.3% FG | 25.4% 3pt | 60.7% FT

Jones was the No. 26 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft after averaging 20.8 PPG at Weber State."

Keith Smith: "And there's one roster spot created for the Thunder!

OKC moves $9.5M under the luxury tax with one open roster spot.

WAS moves to $10.2M under the luxury tax with 17 players on standard contracts. That's +2, so more moves coming for the Wizards for sure."

Clemente Almanza: "Well Dillon Jones Day just got a lot more awkward"

@ThunderFilmRoom: "In all seriousness, getting traded after your rookie year & 6 days after you win an NBA championship isn’t easy on a human level.

Rooting for Dillon Jones’ success in Washington & he’s forever an NBA Champion. Nobody can take that away from him!"

@KnicksMuse: "The Knicks received 5 second-round picks from OKC last year for Pick #26.

Pick #26 was Dillon Jones.

Looks like the Knicks have distinctively won that trade now."

Brandon Rahbar: "Wish Dillon Jones the best and hope he gets some burn with the Wizards.

No matter where his career takes him from here, he’ll always be a 2024-2025 NBA Champion."
