It was a quiet night on the court in the Northwest Division, but the front offices stayed active. With the standings frozen — the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz at 1-1, the Minnesota Timberwolves at 1-0, the Oklahoma City Thunder at 0-1 and the Portland Trail Blazers still awaiting their first game — both the Thunder and Jazz kept reshaping the back end of their rosters ahead of preseason and G League action.
Thunder add Pritchard, move on from McCray
In Oklahoma City, the Thunder brought in another ball-handler for camp. Guard Anthony Pritchard has landed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract after his first pro season with the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League. This type of deal typically positions a player for a camp look and a potential funnel to the G League affiliate, signaling the Thunder’s interest in keeping him in their development pipeline.
To make room, Oklahoma City waived guard Robert McCray V. The move opens up a back-end roster spot as the Thunder continue to tinker around their core and look to climb from their current 0-1 start within the division once games resume.
Jazz trim Brown as camp depth takes shape
For the Utah Jazz, it was guard Terrell Brown’s turn to be waived. Brown had been on an Exhibit 10 deal, a mechanism frequently used to connect players to an organization’s G League team. By cutting Brown, Utah keeps refining its perimeter depth while sitting at 1-1 early in the Northwest race.
In a similar move elsewhere in the West, the Los Angeles Clippers released rookie guard Fletcher Loyer, also on an Exhibit 10 contract, another sign that clubs across the league are tightening up preseason depth charts with the G League in mind.
Nuggets, Wolves and Blazers quiet as coaching lens widens
The Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Portland Trail Blazers had no games and no announced moves, holding steady in the standings. Around the league, CBS Sports published its ranking of all 30 NBA head coaches ahead of the 2026-27 season, underscoring that pressure in the Northwest will be felt not just on the floor but on the benches once the schedule ramps up.
