Would this trade make sense for the Oklahoma City Thunder?
It is going to be a long year for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they continue to rebuild the roster and find out what works best. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a huge box to get checked this offseason and now the front office needs to accomplish other goals. This can begin by bringing in Kristaps Porzingis to balance the rotation.
Oklahoma City does not have a chance to compete this season. They are going to finish near the bottom of the Western Conference once again.
There are plenty of draft picks or the Thunder to work with and they can begin to use them. Kristaps Porzingis wants to go to a team where he could be the focal point of the offense.
In Oklahoma City, he might not have a chance to win but he will take on an extended role offensively for the Thunder. If successful, it could work best for both sides if Porzingis remains healthy and is not going to cause more problems.
