NBA Twitter reacts to Cason Wallace's new contract with OKC Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have secured the services of All-Defensive guard Cason Wallace with a five-year, $139 million contract extension. The Thunder reached the agreement with Wallace, who will now be the team's starting guard for the foreseeable future. The contract is considered a critical move for the Thunder, as it secures Wallace ahead of the NBA's restricted free agency period.

Wallace led the league in total steals and deflections during the previous season and has been ranked among the top three in steals per game. The Thunder’s commitment to their core pieces is evident, as they have now fully locked in their starting lineup for several years. The contract extension has been met with enthusiasm from Wallace's teammates and the Oklahoma City fanbase, with many expressing their support for the new deal.
