Alex Abrines will never join the Thunder

"I would love a career like Navarro's, staying here, helping Barça win titles and being a focal point of the club."

How did the Thunder get Alex Abrines?

Oklahoma had three picks going into Draft Day 2013. Two of them, #12 and #32, were from James Harden trade. The other pick was the Thunder's own late first rounder, at #29. The Thunder had traded their own second round pick for Lazar Hayward a couple of years back.

The Thunder had a serious need for a big man, with Collison and Perk getting older.
