The Thunder's main aims during the summer of 2018 were to sign George to a long-term deal, while also offloading Anthony's contract. Sam Presti and the Thunder managed to pull both of these goals, while also adding Dennis Schroder as part of the deal that saw Anthony leave after just one season.

Schroder has proved to be a hit in Oklahoma, and he is already regarded as the best backup point guard in the NBA. The German has also been deployed in the starting lineup alongside Westbrook and is currently averaging 16.1 points, 4.6 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Despite this, Schroder's contract is vastly overpriced, and this was a major factor in the Hawks' decision to trade him away. The 25-year-old is currently in the middle of a four-year, $70 million contract extension that he signed with the Hawks back in 2016, and the Thunder may look to trade away his deal in the summer.
