SALT LAKE CITY, UT – DECEMBER 23: Russell Westbrook /

Oklahoma City Thunder

Send: Dakari Johnson, Kyle Singler, 2018 second round pick

Receive: Marco Belinelli, Tyler Dorsey

The Thunder are in a position where they could use another shooter on their bench, someone that can check into the game and knock down a couple 3-pointers. Belinelli is a career 37 percent shooter, but has nearly 50 games of experience in the playoffs.

Oklahoma City has shown that when they’re playing at the top of their game, they’re going to be able to hang with a lot of teams in the league. Everyone in the Western Conference should be preparing to face the Warriors in the playoffs, and for OKC to beat Golden State, they’re going to need every inch of floor space they can get for Westbrook, George, and Anthony to get buckets. Losing a second round pick is an easy choice to make.
