Oklahoma City Thunder Receives: James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins
Golden State Warriors Receives: Al Horford, Luguentz Dort, Theo Maledon, 2022 1st Round Pick (via LAC)
In this particular trade scenario, the Oklahoma City Thunder would be adding another high-level prospect in James Wiseman to their core to pair with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. In order to do so, they would be sending the Golden State Warriors plenty of value in order to entice them to move on from the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

However, the rest of the contracts involved in this particular scenario are quite favorable with James Wiseman being on a rookie deal, Luguentz Dort being an undrafted free agent signing, and Theo Maledon being a second-round pick.
