Thunder Trade: Avoiding Roster Crunch While Gathering Asset From Kings
Could a team like the Sacramento Kings be open for business? Oklahoma City could offer Favors along with a young prospect and a first-round pick for someone like Richaun Holmes. Holmes is a productive player that’s also young enough to still be good when the Thunder are already to push for the playoffs.

Holmgren in the front court with 7-foot Aleksej Pokusewski will be a sight. GM Sam Presti knows what he's doing and while Holmgren is a swing-for-the-fences prospect, he's worth the risk with his upside.

Dieng improved tremendously over his season with the NZ Breakers in Australia's National Basketball League. He's still a very raw prospect, so the Thunder will have to be patient with his development. In a season or two, Dieng will be a very productive wing with great size at 6-foot-10.

Williams was the biggest draft riser after the combine. He brings some size to the wing with his 6-foot-7 frame and 7-foot-2 wingspan. Williams is a little older at 21 years old but he can jump into the rotation right away.
