Thunder could trade up in 2026 draft for center Aday Mara

The Oklahoma City Thunder are considering a trade with the Milwaukee Bucks that would allow them to move up from the No. 12 and No. 17 picks in the 2026 NBA Draft to the No. 10 pick. This proposed deal is aimed at acquiring Michigan center Aday Mara, a 7-foot-3 prospect. The Thunder currently have a surplus of draft picks and players signed, prompting a move to streamline their roster. Meanwhile, the Bucks would benefit from acquiring an additional first-round pick while moving down two spots. ESPN analyst Bobby Marks noted that the Bucks might wait to see how the draft unfolds before making a final decision.
