The Oklahoma City Thunder will receive George Hill, Darius Miller and a 2023 first round pick originating from the Denver Nuggets as well as second round picks in 2023 and 2024 as part of a four-team trade in which they're sending Steven Adams to the New Orleans Pelicans.

I feel like the Thunder are being run by a GM in an old school Fast Break Basketball Sim league!

presti is channeling his inner hinkie.. let's hope he hits on his picks or makes good use of them for a disgruntled superstar.

How many draft picks has oKC accumulated? I understand a small market team trading away older assets for picks but at some point you have to build a team of bodies no?

Pretty sure they are close to 21 picks over the next 7 years.

They have particularly been stacking picks in 2023, which is the year the NBA may start letting fresh from High Schoolers back in the draft, which obviously makes the talent pool much deeper.
Go Knicks!
