Slight Oklahoma City Thunder Edge

Oklahoma City received Morris Peterson; rights to Cole Aldrich and sent rights to Craig Brackins; rights to Quincy Pondexter. Oklahoma City holds a modest edge rather than a decisive win. The grading is retrospective: named draft selections are evaluated by what they became, while unknown or still-protected picks are kept conservative. Later unrelated transactions are not credited as if they were guaranteed at the time of this deal. The assessment also weighs roster fit, competitive-window timing, asset depth and whether the incoming value remained useful beyond a short rental.
