Cason Wallace Rumors

Bobby Marks: "Extension candidate to watch, of course, is Cason Wallace. Oklahoma City has been aggressive with extension talks on all-NBA defender. I am not going to put comps out and put numbers out because that just pisses people off, but I would expect them to be aggressive when it comes to Wallace extension."

Justin Martinez: Cason Wallace on being up for a contract extension this summer: "I love the Thunder. But I'm more focused on getting better this summer and being able to go back out there and compete. I'm not money driven. I want to compete, that's the main focus of me. So whether I get paid this summer or not, you know, I'm going to get better because that's what I have to do to stay in this league."

“Honestly, you just go out there and be who you are,” Wallace told The Athletic. “If it’s your night then, you know, it’s your night, and we’re all gonna be excited, and we’re all gonna put our best foot forward. But when it’s somebody else’s night, we also understand that and we cheer them on. “I feel like we’re definitely one big family, so we all want to see our brothers eat.”

The Thunder, thanks to players such as Wallace, have chosen the whole. “That’s just who we are,” Wallace said. “We all want to win. We all have a common goal.”

Joel Lorenzi: Asked Mark Daigneault how starting Cason Wallace in Game 1 of the Finals informed his decision making with starters since: “I view the starting lineup as a rotation decision. I think the starting lineup — the lights go out and the music starts, and the announcer announces them, and they run out, they get the graphic on TV, everybody lists the starters. It gets, in my opinion — not opinion — it's just overemphasized relative to what I'm thinking about. It's like there's no difference to me between who you start and who the first sub is or the next sub after that.”

Joel Lorenzi: I want to call this the game within the game, but these teams versus this crew has been explosive for the entire game. Lakers were furious about the way that jump ball was officiated. Thunder snagged it, went down the floor and got a Cason Wallace 3 and Redick timeout.

Serge Ibaka: Who's the best defender in the NBA? Chet Holmgren: I think Cason Wallace is the best defender. Ibaka: Cason Wallace the best defender right now in the NBA? Holmgren: Yeah. Ibaka: Wow. Holmgren: If you're looking for somebody who not only can defend on ball, but off ball in the passing lanes, he can hound you 94 feet. He can get steals, but he can also play solid and just force you to miss a shot.

Antonio Daniels: It can't be a situation where you're allowing Lu Dort and you're allowing Cason Wallace and you're allowing Alex Caruso and some of these other guys to get extremely physical with the stars of the opposing team. But the moment that that physicality is put back toward the Oklahoma City Thunder when they're on the offensive end, now you get a softer whistle.

Justin Martinez: Asked Cason Wallace what it was like to see his girlfriend, Kiki Rice, help the UCLA women’s basketball team win its first NCAA championship:“That was great. It was fun just seeing her live out her dreams. She was very excited and happy. She works every day. It’s a lot of work and she’s consistent with it, so for her to have those achievements and her hard work paying off is great.”
