Adams trade was pretty much expected as soon as they traded for Horford.
OKC going full rebuild and Horford is just a cap space filler. It'll be a rough few years for their fans because that team is going to be shit but itll be worth it with the long term assets they've acquired.
If only the NBA were like the NFL and all those draft picks had incredible value. It's hit or miss in the NBA Draft.
Chances are OKC will be drafting a lot of busts and non all-star players. Stockpiling too many picks can backfire.
Hopefully the OKC Thunder will keep their fan base engaged. The goal to rebuilding is to add great young talent.
That's why the Houston Rockets can't trade James Harden for just anything. They need a proven young star in return. Like Ben Simmons.
