Kyle Singler: the wing the Oklahoma City Thunder had hoped for

After 3 seasons of high-level play from point guard Reggie Jackson, the Thunder were looking to move on from him as the two sides had grown apart. Jackson felt he deserved a bigger role with the team, one that the Thunder clearly couldn’t commit to with the other-worldly Russell Westbrook in front of him. So on February 19th of 2015, the Thunder traded away Jackson and Kendrick Perkins (along with draft picks) and received a player that would finally give them scoring in the front court, Enes Kanter.
