The fast-approaching trade deadline marks two years from the trade that sent OKC Thunder guard Reggie Jackson to the Detroit Pistons. I wanted to revisit this trade, it’s background and what future effects it has had on the OKC Thunder franchise.
For those who have forgotten the particulars of the trade, it was a three team trade involving the Thunder, Pistons and the Utah Jazz.
To simplify the trade, this is the net result;
Detroit received Reggie Jackson, only giving up Kyle Singler and D.J. Augustin.
Utah received Kendrick Perkins, Grant Jerrett, Tibor Pleiss and Oklahoma City’s protected first round pick in 2017.
