OKLAHOMA CITY -- While most of the teams in the NBA have a timid approach when it comes to making trades, the Oklahoma City Thunder never have been in that category.
As the 2016-17 trade deadline approached Thursday, Thunder General Manager Sam Presti once again showed he is not afraid to make moves.
Presti sent guard Cameron Payne, forward Anthony Morrow and forward Joffrey Lauvergne to the Chicago Bulls for forward Taj Gibson, forward Doug McDermott and a 2018 second round draft pick.
