The Yes outcome occurs if the Oklahoma City Thunder are declared the champion of the 2026-27 NBA season.

  • Stays with Oklahoma City or Retires — the market puts it at 86%, with $108 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 21 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Chet Holmgren’s next team is Oklahoma City or if he retires before October 21, 2026. It resolves to No if his next team is not Oklahoma City and he does not retire by that deadline.
