Thunder Aggressive As Trade Deadline Draws Near

According to Royce Young of ESPB, the Thunder are aggressive as the trade deadline approaches. Young recently tweeted that the Thunder are interested in acquiring Doug McDermott of the Chicago Bulls.

McDermott, a product out of Creighton, is a scoring forward who would greatly benefit the Thunder's perimeter offense. The 6'8 small forward is shooting 38 percent from three on the season and is a career 39 percent shooter from downtown.

Oklahoma City is in desperate need of a three point shooter and McDermott would fit the bill.

Marc Stein tweeted this morning that Oklahoma City has their eyes on Chicago's Taj Gibson. Adding Gibson give the Thunder another strong presence down low to pair with Steven Adams and Enes Kanter.

Sam Presti is also searching for a scoring forward to add to the Thunder's arsenal.
