I want Reddick.

Frankly I don't 100% trust any of these shooters in the playoffs. Not TLC/Johnson/Shamet.

Even Harris has not been great in playoff games.

I could totally see him coming in when were cold and being huge.

I would prefer Avery Bradley.

Curious to see whether we can get someone like Norman Powell as well as there's some noise about that. Raps are definitely trading Powell so it's a question of which contender he ends up with.

I think another name that is worth paying attention to is Kenrich Williams. He's having a breakout year with OKC and he's the type of high energy, defensive wing we could really use. His salary is small and he's signed for multiple years so that's a huge plus. He's generally not a reliable shooter but he's shooting over 40% from 3 (just 1.4 attempts per game) this year. I don't think the asking price will be that high, we could do TLC + 2nd round pick (or picks) for him.

if he is good, young, and cheap why are they trading him?

Keep an eye on Kenrich…
One below-the-radar name I’ve been told to watch at the deadline: Oklahoma City forward Kenrich Williams. A sign-and-trade throw-in to make the cap math work on the Pelicans’ trade for Steven Adams, “Kenny Hustle” has had a breakout year with the Thunder. No, he isn’t an elite athlete, and his shooting has always been a question mark. Nonetheless, he has established himself as a rotation-caliber player at both forward spots for the rebuilding Thunder with his ballhandling, plus rebounding, tough D and generally high basketball IQ.

Additionally, Williams has one of the best contracts in the league: It’s just $2 million a year, and he’s signed for two more years after this one. It’s not even guaranteed money, so an acquiring team could get off it due to injury or ineffectiveness. Acquiring a rotation player that cheaply should be very attractive for the league’s contenders, most of whom are bound by luxury tax or hard-cap issues.

The 26-year-old Williams would likely command at least a second-round pick, allowing the Thunder to add to their draft hoard. Subtracting Williams would also help the Thunder in another sense, as the team keeps inadvertently winning games and harming its own lottery odds.

He's not that young (26 years old), and he's a piece that fits better on a contender/playoffs team than a rebuild team. OKC also love picks. Also this isn't me making up stuff, his name has been brought up by some reporters as a name to watch out for. From today's trade deadline article on The Athletic:
