Thunder Land Stirtz After Joe Trade

The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a savvy trade, sending Isaiah Joe to Detroit for future draft picks, then used one of those picks to leap up to No. 16 and land Bennett Stirtz — a player GM Sam Presti says perfectly fits their offensive vision and court IQ.

Fans will get their first real look at Stirtz in July’s summer league — a crucial test as the Thunder aim to build for the future with this new piece.
