1. OKC

The rumor out there is Steven Adams, Terrence Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo.

The big scary take here would be for Adams, who is making $24 million next year and under contract for three more seasons.

Combined, Ferguson and Ferguson make under $3 million.

Ferguson has only played two years in the league and is just 21. He was the 21st overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.  He averaged 6.9 points per game last season.

Diallo was a second-round pick in 2018 and is just 20 years old.

Surely, the Cavs would take on draft picks as well, but young players with upside who haven’t gotten a chance doesn’t hurt, either.

The Thunder have an elite player in Russell Westbrook, but just haven’t been able to pair anyone with him since Durant bolted for the Warriors.

Utah Jazz

Despite having Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert in the fold, the Jazz have kind of plateaued, which is why they would explore a trade for Kevin Love.
