Thunder consider trade of Jalen Williams for top draft assets
Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder may trade All-NBA guard Jalen Williams as part of a proposed three-team deal that includes the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies. In this scenario, the Thunder would receive the No. 3 pick along with several players and assets in exchange for Williams. The Thunder were recently eliminated in the Western Conference Finals and are looking to retool for next season. Williams's future with the team is uncertain, particularly with an expensive contract extension set to begin this summer after a season marked by injuries.
