I was about to post this , I've been a fan of Reggie for a long time so I'm glad he maybe gets an opportunity now.
OKC don't need to give Cook or any other piece just to get a backup pointguard when they have an athletic 6'3 and 7'0 wingspan promising PG hungry for minutes
There is a lot of pressure on OKC to get to the championships this year, before they have to start making decisions on who they can afford to keep in the future.
With a wildcard like Westbrook as their PG, Maynor's stability was a great asset for this team. They need veteran stability at the position right now a whole lot more than a kid trying to learn the hardest position in the NBA on the fly, in a compacted season with little pre-season.
Even if he has long arms.
heat have WAY more pressure and I don't see them trying to trade for a veteran point guard. Instead of that they have a rookie playing good minutes as a backup PG.
I get your point, just saying that right now I don't think OKC would give any important piece specially when they have a promising pg who can easily be a decent backup PG.
If they give Jackson an opportunity and he just sucks bad, then we can talk about a trade
