The Oklahoma City Thunder continue to make moves with their available cap space.
The Thunder agreed to acquire veteran guard Patty Mills in a multi-team trade that included the Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. In exchange for absorbing his $6.8 million expiring salary, the Thunder will gain draft compensation. The exact draft compensation is currently unknown.
Heading into the offseason, the Thunder had $33 million to spend, and considering the moves they’ve made so far, it looks like they are using the money they have to spend to add draft capital.
The Thunder acquired Cason Wallace by absorbing Davis Bertans’ deal and gained two future second-round draft picks from the Miami Heat by acquiring Victor Oladipo’s expiring salary.
It’s unknown what Mills’ future in OKC will look like. In all likelihood, the Thunder will buy out at least one of the expensive veterans they’ve acquired over the last couple of weeks.
If Mills stays on the Thunder, he joins fellow Australians Josh Giddey and Jack White on the roster.
In 40 games last season with the Nets, the 34-year-old averaged 6.2 points on 41.1% shooting, 1.4 assists and 1.1 rebounds. He also shot 36.6% from 3 on 3.4 attempts.
