To me, unless he is a valid star, OKC can afford to trade out young players for whatever they can get. Their problem is finding a home for all the draft picks they have accumulated over the next few years.
They have one FRP, #12 via HOU, this year. Depending on protections, they have as many as 5 FRP and 2 SRP next year. One FRP and 3 SRP in 2026 and 3 FRP and 2 SRP in 2027. A total of about 35 picks through 2030. With a contending roster, there is no way they have a home for all those picks.
They have so many, they could just sell them for cash, I guess. But bringing picks back, unless the 2031 or beyond, is not going to help.
