Heat Trade No. 18 Pick to Thunder

Excerpt from NBC Sports:

Oklahoma City and Miami will make a minor swap that goes down as another win-win. The Heat will clear even more cap space for their off-season overhaul while the Thunder will add another mid-first round pick and a guy who can (theoretically) hit from outside. The Heat will send Daequan Cook and the No. 18 pick to OKC for the No. 32 in a move that has little to do with either Cook or the No. 32 and everything to do with the No. 18 and the salary shed.

After this trade, the Thunder will have three first rounders (No. 18, No. 21, No. 26) to play with in this summer's draft, a unique opportunity to infuse the most successful young core in the NBA with even more young talent. Well-played, Sam.
