The Los Angeles Lakers have reached a tentative deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder to acquire guard Dennis Schröder in exchange for the No.28 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, according to Athletic’s Shams Charania.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Guard Danny Green has also been a focal point of the trade.
ESPN reported earlier on Sunday that teams had been told the trading moratorium would end at noon ET on Monday.
Schröder, 27, has just enjoyed one of the best seasons of his NBA career, averaging 18.9 points and four assists per game last season with the Thunder. Schröder was also one of the finalists for the sixth man of the year award.
Earlier this week, the Thunder promoted assistant coach Mark Daigneault to head coach. Daigneault served as the Thunder’s assistant coach throughout the 2019-20 season and was previously the head coach of Oklahoma City’s G-League affiliate Oklahoma City Blue from 2014 to 19. His promotion potentially indicates that the team is looking to rebuild this season.
Star point guard Chris Paul also remains the subject of business conversations, with ESPN reporting Tuesday night that the Suns are the latest team to express interest in the future Hall of Famer.
Oklahoma City went 44-28 last season and have the No.21 and No.25 picks in the upcoming 2020 NBA Draft.
