As the Oklahoma City Thunder continue to rebuild, they pulled off a deal on Tuesday to bring in a reliable veteran.
The Thunder acquired Moe Harkless and a second-round pick from the Atlanta Hawks for Vit Krejci. Harkless spent the 2021-22 season with the Sacramento Kings. He averaged 4.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 47 games with 24 starts in Sacramento, and he shot 30.7% from deep. He was traded to the Hawks in the offseason in the Kevin Huerter deal.
Harkless is a 10-year vet who can at least lend a helping hand to the youngsters on the Thunder and help push them forward.
