OKC Thunder Trade Rumours: 3 things to expect before the trade deadline

#1 The team will not add a third All-Star

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics

Despite having one of the largest salary bills in NBA history, the Thunder have been linked with adding a third All-Star to the team. Both Bradley Beal and Kevin Love have been linked with a move to Oklahoma City, however, the addition of a third All-Star makes very little sense for a number of reasons.

Firstly, the Thunder have found a balance that they didn't have with Carmelo Anthony last season, and the chemistry between George and Westbrook has been a driving force behind the Thunder's excellent form.

In addition to this, OKC simply doesn't have the assets to get a deal for a third All-Star done, as the franchise won't be willing to give up George or Westbrook.

Ultimately, the Thunder are currently in the best shape that they have been in since Kevin Durant left in 2016, and the team won't risk making a huge trade ahead of the deadline.
