Thunder At A Glance – 20 September 2018

img_4063Erik Horne (NewsOK) on Abdel Nader being used to playing multiple positions: “Instead, it’s keeping Nader as not just the piece it acquired in a trade with Boston for Rodney Purvis, but as a tangible shift to more versatile frontcourt options. Nader’s $1.37 million salary essentially replaces that of 7-footer Dakari Johnson, who was traded to Orlando for Purvis in July.”

Michael Bohlin (247 Sports) looks at possible trade options for Jimmy Butler: “Another team that isn’t on Butler’s reported list of preferred destinations that could ultimately choose to make a run at acquiring a player like Butler, even if it is only as a rental player, would be the Oklahoma City Thunder as this is an approach that they already tried this past season by acquiring Carmelo Anthony.”

Russell Westbrook receives some advice on how to parent twins from ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby.

Cody Taylor (OKC Thunder Wire) on whether the Thunder should try to acquire Courtney Lee: “While the initial report that Lee would like to be traded to a contender did not mention his preference to join the Thunder, his apparent demand would still include the Thunder as they are projected to be a contender this season.”

Abdel Nader and Deonte Burton played bingo with some senior citizens.
