3 players from the last 3 years that Oklahoma City Thunder shouldn't have traded away

#2 Doug McDermott

Oklahoma City Thunder v Phoenix Suns

On February 23, 2017, Doug McDermott joined the Thunder as part of a huge trade that also took Taj Gibson to Oklahoma City. McDermott's arrival was widely praised, as Billy Donovan's team had long needed to add three-point shooters, however, the small forward was traded away after just 27 games, joining the New York Knicks alongside Enes Kanter as part of the deal for Carmelo Anthony.

During his brief stint with the team, McDermott did exactly what was asked of him. During 22 regular season games, he shot 36% from beyond the arc, and this figure jumped to 54% during the Thunder's 2017 First-Round Playoff defeat to the Houston Rockets.

Since his departure, the Thunder has continued to struggle shooting from deep, and Paul George is currently the team's only credible long-range threat. Meanwhile, McDermott has found a regular spot in the Pacers rotation this season, shooting 41% from deep.
