Just read this:
Thabo Sefolosha was benched two times during the playoffs due to his lack of production on offense. Sefolosha's contract is set to expire at the end of June and there is a very good chance he's played his last game for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
From Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman: "He never found his rhythm this season and never looked comfortable. And it was among the leading factors that led to the Thunder regressing. We kept waiting for Thabo to trend toward the shooting he displayed in the last two seasons. But it never happened. ... Zero (chance he re-signs with OKC)."
The Thunder had a lot of interest in Iman Shumpert back in February and they may revisit trade talks with the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson is looking for a first round pick in the June 26 NBA draft and he might offer Shumpert to the Thunder for the No. 21 selection, according to the rumor mill out of New York.
Ironically, Sefolosha might be a target for Jackson should he deal Shumpert. Teams in need of a defensive-stopper will likely call Sefolosha's agent once we get to July 1.
Don't know what Shumpert has been like since his RC year much, but if he's still a decent player like he was in his RC year I would LOVE for him to come over and replace Thabo......... Thabo really needs to go, so hope we don't retain him whether or not we get Shump.
