The Oklahoma City Thunder were very busy leading up to and during Wednesday's NBA Draft.
The Thunder swapped a dozen or so players and draft picks with four teams — Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards.
In the end, OKC traded away Dennis Schröder, Terrance Ferguson and newly-acquired players Ricky Rubio and Danny Green. They ended up with veteran forward Al Horford and multiple draft picks.
OKC traded up to number 17 to draft 7-foot Serbian player Aleksej Pokuševski, the youngest player in the draft at 18-years-old. They also took 19-year-old French guard Théo Maledon and 20-year-old Czech forward Vít Krejčí, both in the second round.
The shortened NBA offseason won't slow down, with free agency beginning Sunday.
Love the pick for the Thunder

Pokusevski is incredibly versatile.
OKC needs to get him over in their program ASAP
His ability to shoot pass and dribble at his size is crazy
Theo Maledon is a steal at 34

He can shoot it and really sees the floor well
He played for Tony Parkers team in France, so it’s really a full circle moment for Presti
Really love what OKC did tonight
