NBA Trade Rumors: 5 destinations for Reggie Jackson
By Evan Massey
Which five teams would make for the best potential landing spots for Reggie Jackson if the Oklahoma City Thunder choose to trade him prior to the deadline?
Reggie Jackson has been a big part of what the Oklahoma City Thunder have done this season, but his deal is coming to an end after the season and it might be in the Thunder’s best interests to trade him prior to the February 19th trading deadline.
There is no guarantee that the Thunder will be able to bring him back, and they can find a much cheaper backup point guard option on the open market. If the Thunder did trade him this year at the deadline, they would be able to get a very nice return back. Talented young point guards are hard to come by these days, and the Thunder have one of the best in the league.
Through the first 40 games that he has played this season, Jackson has averaged 14.2 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game. Those numbers alone prove just how valuable of a layer he can be, and will make quite a few teams very interested in him over the next few weeks.
It is expected to be a very busy trade deadline with all of the rumors and deals that have already been happening.
This season is a bit more interesting with all of the bad teams that are going to sell, and then of course the teams that are a move away from competing. Jackson is one of the players that will have a lot of interest from sellers who could give the Thunder the type of return that they need to compete in the Western Conference.
All of that being said, which five teams would make for the best destinations if the Thunder do move Jackson?
