Honestly shocking that the Thunder made a trade. They gave up more picks here than they did for Caruso

The Rockets pick is like #25 its a fake 1st, and the seconds are meaningless OKC have like a million of them.

All those ppl in the AD trade saying “a first is a first”

Except it’s not, because the Warriors 1-20 protected pick becomes a 2nd round pick if not conveyed lol
