7. Oklahoma City Thunder (28-20)

It seems like the Oklahoma City Thunder is finally getting it all together. However, just when it seemed like they were figuring it all out, Andre Roberson goes down. It’s now being reported that he’s expected to miss the remainder of the season, and the Thunder will likely attempt to replace him via trade.

It’s not going to be as easy as simply “replacing” Roberson, but the Thunder will be active in the next few days. If there’s one thing you can bank on when it comes to the NBA trade deadline, it’s that Sam Presti won’t be sitting on his hands.

No matter how many assets he has at his disposal, he always seems to find a way.
