With one more day until the 2021 NBA Draft, the rumor mill is heating up. Not surprisingly the OKC Thunder are a team frequently at the center of these trade leaks. Following a season spent tanking with the sole purpose of OKC netting the top draft pick the bingo balls didn’t cooperate.
Instead, the sixth pick is the first OKC will make along with the 16th and 18th selections in the first round and another three (34th, 36th, 55th) in the second round.
