Steven Adams a key to cutting salary in OKC<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you are a fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder beware that some of the team’s better players are on the trading block a day before the 2019 draft.\u00a0 Steven Adams is the primary name mentioned by national media as the twenty-five million dollar a year man could free up some very costly salary as of a negative sixteen and one half million dollar luxury tax space facing the team\u00a0 (https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nba\/cap\/).\u00a0 The Thunder are working to trade him. \u00a0 Other Thunder players General Manager Sam Presti is looking to dump are guards Andre Roberson and Dennis Schroder, and post Patrick Patterson.\u00a0 Fact is, only Russell Westbrook and Paul George are the only two Thunder roster members that seem to be safe from a trade.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h6>\n
