Los Angeles Lakers’ trade target from the Oklahoma City Thunder: Terrance Ferguson
The Oklahoma City Thunder have surprised a lot of people this season. When the team traded both Russell Westbrook and Paul George, many expected them to simply punt away this season and eventually try and seek out a trade for Chris Paul or just buy out his massive contract.
That has not been the case and the Thunder have been playing really good basketball. Paul has looked the best that he has looked in quite some time and Shai Gilegous-Alexander has taken that next step in only year two. The Thunder are the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

There is not a lot of players that the Thunder could shop this offseason but the one that potentially makes the most sense is Terrance Ferguson. The team could absolutely afford to move Ferguson and if the price is right then a deal for Ferguson would work out for both parties.
Ferguson has not played that great this season but he has had a more reduced role in this new-look Thunder team. We have seen in years past that Ferguson can be a solid two-way player that can defend opposing wings while also shooting a decent three-point shot.
He would not be remarkable in any regard, but the team would get more out of Ferguson as a 2-3 defender in the rotation than someone such as, say, Quinn Cook.
