2. Oklahoma City Thunder

For a team that is in a long-term rebuild as in the case of the Oklahoma City Thunder, adding players who could emerge as long-term fits is a smart strategy.

One of the more challenging types of players to find in the NBA is a wing player with shot creation upside. Cam Reddish has shown flashes of being able to do precisely that.

In the 2021 NBA Draft, the Thunder opted to draft Josh Giddey instead of Jonathan Kuminga. It’s far too early to make declarations either way, but regardless, that was a chance at a wing they passed on taking.

Could making a trade for Cam Reddish be a prime opportunity for the Oklahoma City Thunder to add that type of wing into the mix alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey?

There is a need for the Oklahoma City Thunder to add more salary spending going forward in order to meet the salary cap floor. Giving an extension to Reddish would only help in that regard.
