Why This Trade Would Benefit The Oklahoma City Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have turned into a franchise that has loaded themselves up with first-round NBA Draft capital for years to come. They have made some big-splash trades involving names like Paul George and Russell Westbrook. They made another when they sent Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns.

This deal would not be at the same level but it would still send them back some assets for the future. Carsen Edwards was one of the best shooters in the nation during his time at Purdue.

The Celtics are loaded in the backcourt, which means Edwards does not have many chances. Oklahoma City is a place where Edwards would be able to improve as a player and get a chance.

This is not a deal that would shock the world but it is one that would improve a top team in the NBA. Oklahoma City would be able to look further into the future here.
