The Oklahoma City Thunder have the chance to make an all-in move and in Bleacher Report's latest Mock Trade, Kevin Durant gets a Bricktown reunion.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are poised to be aggressive this summer. With a 57-win ball club, a young core primed to be contenders for years to come - Given that Oklahoma City has top-five in the league cap space, a mountain of draft picks and roster flexibility it puts top-decision maker Sam Presti in a spot to push some of his chips in, should the Thunder choose to go that direction.
This is a large sum to pay with a sticker shock that will make the average Thunder observer shutter. Rightfully so, under this hypothetical scenario Durant would have demanded a trade, likely put out a shortlist of teams he is willing to play for and neutered any leverage Phoenix has. Jaylin Williams is a nice flyer for the Suns as a backup big man option for a team still strapped for cash and needing cost-controlled talent - while the life of the Thunder locker room if this is. the price for one of the best players to ever play the game, it is one you willfully pay.
Ultimately, when push comes to shove, the benefit of what Durant still is at age 35 would be worth it - as the storylines of a homecoming would be show-stopping and Durant represents the perfect power forward for Oklahoma City's system it just does not seem likely.
