I am hearing that the mysterious third team involved in this James Harden trade is the OKC Thunder.
Siegel did originally say there was a 3rd team involved before the Woj follow-up news came out…
What’s Presti cooking? The ability to use Bertans’ contract to take on some salary is interesting. Probably just gonna be trading a 2024/25 pick for a pick further in the future, though. Presti loves spreading out those picks.
If the rumors of this year’s draft being mediocre are true, shipping out a pick this year for one years down the road.
I think there’s value in spacing them out just to make sure OKC isn’t stuck trying to find roster space for multiple picks in one year.
