The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't have much time to rest on their laurels after winning an NBA championship. The NBA draft took place only a few days after OKC beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 to bring home the title, and free agency kicks off on June 30. The Thunder got a head start on the latter part of the offseason by inking a key depth piece to an extension on Sunday.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported the franchise signed Jaylin Williams to a three-year extension worth $24 million. As part of the new deal the Thunder will turn down Williams's $2.1 million player option for next season and replace it with his new $8 million salary to immediately start his new contract.
