The moving and shaking that was: A Thunder transaction retrospective, 2012/13

I’ll be looking back at the moves that transformed the Thunder roster from the scary-young Finals contender in 2012 to what it is today. My aim is to evaluate and explain more than boil anything down to a simple grade, breaking down the overall moves and the decision-making behind them from season to season.

I’ve cut out some of the noise (pre-season cuts, hot potato traded contracts, draft rights to 35-year-olds, extensions, options picked up, etc.) from the layout to just focus on what actually changed about the Thunder roster, on the court, from year to year. Technically, moves in June (including draft picks) count toward the prior season’s official moves.
