NBA 2K18 My GM Tips: 30 Franchise-Saving Trades You Must Make
5. Oklahoma City Thunder
Players out (position, rating, contract length/value, age):
Steven Adams C 82 4 yrs/$100M 24, Kyle Singler SF 67 2 yrs/$9.66M 29, '2nd round pick
Players in:
Thaddeus Young PF 77 1 yr/$14.8M 29, Al Jefferson C 75 1 yr/$9.7M 32
Why it makes sense:
If you're serious about keeping Paul George, you're going to need a lot of cap space to do so. Since the Thunder have two equally talented centers it makes a lot of sense to trade away one of them.
They might be best friends off the court and actually play good next to each other in real life, but does that matter in the world of NBA 2K18?
Young and Jefferson are older, but cheaper options at starting power forward and bench center respectively. After the year their contracts are up and if George is happy, you'll be able to not only re-sign him without a problem, but surround him and Westbrook with some interesting role-players as well.
