Friday Bolts: The Deadline Day After

Sam Presti actually did it. He traded a first-round pick from OKC's enormous vault of first-round selections. In return, the Oklahoma City Thunder landed a 2028 pick swap.

Okay, so not the blockbuster we imagined the inventory of picks would be used for, but alas, OKC shed a pick that had little value in the short term, to essentially have the ability "trade up" in the 2028 draft should Dallas' pick in 2028 be worse than OKC's.

Oh, and there was another trade on deadline day. Tre Mann, Vasilije Micic, Davis Bertans, and two second-round draft picks are out, and Gordon Hayward is in.
