Courtney Lee is exactly the type of player that the Thunder need to add this month. Over the last two seasons, the 33-year-old has averaged over 40% when shooting from beyond the arc, and over his career, Lee has been a reliable scorer, averaging more than 10 points per game. According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, the Knicks man is available for trade this month, and the Thunder could have a free run at the veteran.

It is worth noting that Lee is set to earn $12.8 million for the 19/20 season, and the Thunder are already over the salary cap. The Thunder would need to offload the likes of Patrick Patterson and Alex Abrines in order to make a deal realistic, however, OKC have been among the worst shooting teams in the NBA this season, and the addition of Lee could make a huge difference in the playoffs.
