Rumor Central: Doug McDermott: 'I've always really loved the Thunder'

The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired Doug McDermott on Feb. 23 as part of a multi-player trade with the Chicago Bulls, and the forward can envision staying with the Thunder for the long term.

"I've always really loved the Thunder," McDermott told The Oklahoman. "I always wanted to play here."

McDermott, born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, will enter 2017-18 in the fourth season of his rookie-scale contract and has begun his offseason workouts.

"I think it's a place that Doug's very comfortable with," said McDermott's father, Greg McDermott.
