Teams that should target Kristaps Porzingis via trade: Oklahoma City Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have become an after-thought after trading Chris Paul, but there are still some really good players on this roster. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the brightest young players in the league and he could use some help.

Targeting Kristaps Porzingis wouldn’t be a bad idea for a young team that could use some star power. Kristaps is still just 25 years old and would fit in with this team’s core. He’d give Sam Presti another building block to work with and some flexibility with the team’s other assets in searching for a possible No. 1 star.

Building backward could end up working for a team like the Thunder; they’d have two good supporting pieces with SGA and Kristaps. Could that be enough for a superstar to want to play in OKC? If so, we know Presti has the assets to get a deal done.
