Oklahoma City Thunder: Dennis Schroder
The Oklahoma City Thunder are another team that will be buyers at the NBA Trade Deadline this year, but if thy had to deal one of their players it would have to be Dennis Schroder, who is due $31 million over the next two years.
Even though he’s proven to be a quality backup for Russell Westbrook, it’s not ideal to pay Schroder that type of money over the long-term. The team could theoretically use that contract to trade for help along the front-court.
It’s still unlikely that the team would elect to move him, but it’s certainly something they could consider in the coming weeks.
