With the trade deadline of February 7 now just six days away the OKC Thunder made what was an initial small move sending Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot plus cash considerations to the Chicago Bulls. In return, the Thunder receive a 2020 protected second round draft pick.
Shams Charania broke the news of the trade:

Although this might seem like a bit of a throwaway trade the key here is it removes much more than TLC’s $1,544,951 million from the bottom line.
