Thunder explore options to move up in NBA draft
Summary

The Thunder are reportedly aiming to elevate their draft position by trading both their two first-round picks and a second-round pick into the top 10. The challenges stem from the reluctance of teams to part with players available in that coveted range. General Manager Sam Presti is actively pursuing these adjustments as the draft approaches this summer.
