2011 NBA DraftIn contrast to 2010, the NBA draft for the Thunder on June 23, 2011 held little drama. After previously trading their 2011 second-round pick to the Miami Heat,[2] the Thunder were left with only the #24 overall pick. They used it to acquire rights to Reggie Jackson, a guard from Boston College.[3]

Transactions
Current roster
On June 28, 2011, the Thunder exercised its fourth-year options on guard James Harden, forward Serge Ibaka, guard Eric Maynor and center Byron Mullens, as well as its third-year option on center Cole Aldrich.[4]
On June 29, 2011, the Thunder signed center Nazr Mohammed to a one-year extension through 2011-12, avoiding his becoming an unrestricted free agent.[5] Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but reported to be $3,750,000 for the year.[6]
Free agents
On June 27, 2011, the Thunder provided guard Daequan Cook a qualifying offer of $3,126,764 for 2011-12, making Cook a restricted free agent under the terms of the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement set to expire after June 30, 2011.[7][6] Between prior deals and those made in subsequent days by the Thunder, Cook remains the only member of the 2010-11 Thunder not currently under contract for 2011-12 with the team. This issue was resolved when, after the December 9 signing of the new collective bargaining agreement, the Thunder signed Cook to a two - year, $6.5 million dollar deal, therefore retaining virtually everyone from last year's playoff run.
