Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley published an article on Jan. 27 that listed off three trade targets for the Golden State Warriors as the Feb. 10 NBA trade deadline nears. And two of those candidates are players on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Kenrich Williams and Mike Muscala.
Both veterans have been popular names discussed in trade deadline talks that relate back to the Thunder. They are both on team-friendly contracts and would fit seamlessly in any playoff rotation with their ability to stretch the floor. Both are also a bit too old to fit the Thunder’s current rebuilding timeline as Williams is 27 years old and Muscala is 30 years old. Let’s take a look at the reasoning Buckley provided for both Thunder veteran bench players.
