Obviously every Thunder trade up deal (with any team) will involve at least #12 and #17. Some even suggested #37 will be added, too.
Of course if they throw in Jalen Williams or Chet Holmgren, they can keep #17.
Because the Thunder have many many many other assets. Pick 17 is the here and now one, but the Thunder may have that one tied up in another deal? OKC could trade 12 and a future first and our swap back PLUS if they wanted to. 17 doesn’t have to be in any deal. Of course, I would want it because I like more picks NOW!
