The Oklahoma City Thunder adds an NBA All-Star via a summer blockbuster according to Bleacher Report's latest Mock Trade.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are fresh off a 57-win season that allowed them to nab the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and win their first playoff series since 2016. The Thunder are the youngest team to accomplish both feats.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have roughly 37 future first-round picks and they are not all created equally. if this hypothetical package is No. 12, the Jazz's protected 2025 pick back to them and the Mavericks 2028 swap that completely changes the sticker shock of the deal. Markkanen heads into the final year of his contract where he is owed 18 million dollars. This would put Oklahoma City in line to owe the seven-footer, Superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren extensions next summer. Whereas Wallace is due for a less costly extension in 2026-27.
When Markkanen was anything less than the No. 1 option, he was far less productive and functional albeit in far less talented environments that did not own the structure Oklahoma City has. Would the 27-year-old be willing to give up touches and be effective without them?
