As the free agency period was approaching, the OKC Thunder were expected to be quiet. Thus far, the team has made some noise. First, they re-signed Nerlens Noel. Then they inked Mike Muscala, Sam Presti’s latest move was to add point guard, Alec Burks.
The addition of Burks could help the Thunder in various different ways. Although a shooting guard he’s a capable playmaker who could offer insurance should Presti move current backup Dennis Schroder. Or Burks could serve as an upgrade over aging veteran Raymond Felton. The Thunder have historically favored playing three-guard lineups.
