NBA Trade Rumors: 5 players unlikely to be back with the OKC Thunder for the 2020-21 season

#3 Dennis Schroder

Oklahoma City Thunder v Dallas Mavericks

Dennis Schroder, who had one of the best seasons of his career this year, was a close contender for the sixth man of the year award. Considering his scoring and playmaking abilities, Schroder has already been a part of multiple NBA trade rumors.

Schroder still has one year left on his contract, but OKC Thunder might look to move him in the off-season to make the most of his expiring contract.

#4 Nerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel

Though Nerlens Noel has been decent on the OKC Thunder team in the past two seasons, he has failed to live up to expectations that were set on him in the early days of his career.

Noel averaged 7.4 points and 4.9 rebounds this season and played over 18 minutes a game.

The player is already 25 years old and doesn't have a high ceiling at this point. Given his injury history, the OKC Thunder wouldn't fret too much if he walks away in the 2020 free agency.

#5 Andre Robertson

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns

Andre Robertson has had a career that has been riddled with injuries. He spent most of his time on the bench in the past two years and played only seven games in the 2019-20 NBA season while being a non-factor in the 2020 NBA playoffs.

Robertson is already 28 years old and is in a different timeline compared with the OKC Thunder's young core. The Thunder have no particular reason to re-sign Robertson as he enters the free agency in the off-season.
