The OKC Thunder traded with the Boston Celtics for Vincent Poirier, lets look into the reason why they may have done this.

The OKC Thunder continue to overhaul their roster, making move after move since the trade moratorium was lifted prior to the 2020 NBA draft. The latest deal was to send a protected 2021 second-round pick for Vincent Poirier and cash considerations.

Poirier came late into the NBA at the age of 26, completing his rookie season with the Boston Celtics.
