Much like the Rockets, the Oklahoma City Thunder are another team that should be trying to compile as much talent as they can. Collin Sexton could be an option for them, even if he’s just viewed as valuable as an asset for Sam Presti.

On the other hand, he could be an interesting running mate for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who has been a consistent bright spot for the Thunder over the last two seasons. By adding another exciting young piece, the Thunder would be taking another step in their progression.

Sexton doesn’t raise the ceiling for this franchise all that much but he makes sense for this team on several fronts. It’s tough to say whether Presti would be willing to part ways with what Cleveland would be asking for, but it’s certainly something to keep an eye on.
