Who should the OKC Thunder target in free agency to address roster holes?
Building off a 57-25 season in which the Thunder captured the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, general manager Sam Presti is working with plenty of flexibility in every capacity. The team has a plethora of draft capital, cap space and even young tradable assets.
The myth of centers being dead in basketball has been busted. They've proven their value in the past few years, and those who can protect the rim are even more valuable. So, who are some centers the Thunder could target in free agency to address a potential need for a more traditional center?The Knicks 26-year-old center was making an average of $8 million on his last contract. He's due for a payday this offseason. Hartenstein, a 7-foot-, 250-pound center, is a traditional, powerful center through and through. He also produced plenty for a second-round playoff team in the New York Knicks.
Again, Claxton might not make sense offensively, but defensively, he can be an anchor and rebounder to help boost the Thunder in the postseason.Having made just $2.5 million during his contract with the Suns, Eubanks proved his value as a backup center and will be due for a slight bump in pay this offseason as well. He's not a 7-footer, but the 245-pound center could use his size and effort to help address rebounding for the Thunder.
