The Oklahoma City Thunder have declined their team option on Josh Huestis.

Huestis was the 29th overall pick in the 2014 draft.

Huestis has averaged 12.7 minutes per game this season for Oklahoma City.

The Thunder have luxury tax concerns moving forward.

The Los Angeles Clippers have declined their third-year option on Brice Johnson.

Johnson will be an unrestricted free agent in 2018.

Johnson was due $1.5 million next season if the Clippers exercised their option.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a 3-4 record to begin the season and held an air-it-out meeting before Tuesday's practice.

"Off the court we've got great chemistry, great bond," said Tyronn Lue. "Just, on the court we just got to be better. Like, talking, communicating, enjoying the game together. Having fun. ... Right now guys are not having fun."

"Naturally, the slow start that we've had prompted us to just all get on the same page and kind of figure out what we need to do," said Kevin Love. "I feel like we can get in better shape, that's going to help us on the defensive end. Communication, energy and just getting the new guys to (become) adjusted, well adjusted and on the floor, more time together. So time will tell how it's going to play out, but we have a lot of really good positive energy from today, so, it was a great practice."

Cleveland is trying to incorporate eight new players.

The Orlando Magic have declined their fourth year option on Mario Hezonja.

Hezonja, who was the fifth overall pick in 2015, was shopped by the Magic leading to Tuesday's deadline.

Hezonja joins Jahlil Okafor as another top-5 pick to have his option declined. The 2009 draft also had two players in which their teams declined their option in Hasheem Thabeet and Jonny Flynn.

The Philadelphia 76ers will not pick up the fourth-year option on Jahlil Okafor.

Okafor was the third overall pick in the 2015 draft but the 76ers are maintaining cap flexibility for the 2018 offseason.

The 76ers have been attempting to trade Okafor but no deal is imminent.

According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, Okafor could pursue a buyout with the 76ers for the final season of his contract.

The Washington Wizards have declined their fourth-year option on Chris McCullough.

McCullough was the 29th overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Brooklyn Nets and was traded to Washington with Bojan Bogdanovic.

McCullough is now two years removed from ACL surgery and showed potential while playing in the G-League.

The Boston Celtics have exercised both the third-year rookie scale option on Jaylen Brown and the fourth-year rookie scale option on Terry Rozier III.

Named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team in 2016-17, Brown is currently producing 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.00 steal through the first seven games (all starts) of his second NBA season.

The Orlando Magic have explored trading away Mario Hezonja.
