James Johnson is headed to the OKC Thunder to complete the Wolves deal and will offer benefits either as a mentor or as a trade chip.
The biggest move OKC Thunder, VP and GM Sam Presti made from a draft prospect perspective was the swing to bring in big risk – big reward youngster Aleksej Pokusevski. The Thunder front-office executive was busy making deals even before Adam Silver announced Anthony Edwards as the 2020 top draft pick selected by the Wolves.
