OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 1 (UPI) -- While the NFL tends to stay tame at the trade deadline, NBA front offices are always busy.
Jerami Grant contract is non-guaranteed for this season and in 2017-18. OKC will go $7.1m under the salary cap with this trade.

Through two games this season, Grant, 22, has 16 points and seven rebounds. Last season he averaged 9.7 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Zach Lowe reported that the Thunder are sending a "protected first" round pick for Grant.
Can confirm OKC is sending a protected FIRST for Jerami Grant. That surprises me.
