Maybe Leonard + 2nd coming back?

I usually don't trust any trade rumor involving OKC because Presti works in silence but since Ariza never showed up with the team, guess it's more likely to be true.

Still think Miami will try to get a better player in a package (LMA for example) and if they can't maybe they could trade for Ariza.

I have no idea what we will do with all those 2nds though. We should definitely have a second team in the NBA

With everything OKC is doing in the Greenwood District in Tulsa, bringing in Leonard is a bad look, especially if all they get is a second. It’s not worth the PR nightmare.

Guess Ariza deserves an appreciation thread

He'll never set foot in the state of Oklahoma as a Thunder player. I don't think it'll be any PR problem if he doesn't.

Presti impresses again.

Wonder if Leonard is going to be flipped in another deal now.

Well I guess Presti isn't trying to trade for Lonzo Ball if the Clippers have a shot to get him.

Also could mean Clippers aren't willing to pay what Presti wants for Hill

Clippers don’t have enough,in my opinion.

Hawks fan here: we are looking for a backup C behind Clint Capela.
How about Muscala for a future 2nd.

Yep. Bring on the picks. Plus, Muscala has been good for us this year.

While you’re here - what are your plans for Huerter? :)

He's currently our starting SG. Coach McMillan says he has been playing so well, especially defensively he plans on keeping him as the starting SG even with Bogi back. Rumor is Hawks have been getting lots of calls about him but not interested in moving him unless it's a 'knocks our socks' off type deal. More likely part of a larger deal type scenario which I have no idea of.

Compared to free agency, the trade deadline normally does suck.

Any link about this?

Thought Hill's trade value > Dipo (even if not such a good value)

No idea why a team would want to trade for Justin Jackson.

No love for Williams? :(

I'm surprised HIll is being reported as other teams having that much interest. He hasn't played in two months and is still reportedly wearing a cast as of last week. I know he has some value but if I were an other team, I would be a cautious.

Skeptical about those Lakers being interested in Hill rumors. No clue what they could offer and how it would make sense salary wise.

Feel like Presti gonna have to accept Clippers ''meh'' offer for Hill.

Rockets fan here. I'm curious what value OKC fans place on the swap with the Rockets this year. Would any combination of the below be worth giving up the swap?

1. Heat remove all protections on 23 pick (in an Oladipo trade to the Heat)

2. Portland's lottery protected first this year

3. Milwaukee's first this year

4. Brooklyn's unprotected 22 first

5. Milwaukee's 23 unprotected first.
