Cook Traded to the Thunder

In an effort to reduce the salary of their roster, the Miami Heat trade Daequan Cook and the 18th draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a second round pick. Cook's playing time took a big drop this past season for the Heat and it was apparent he was no longer needed for his three point shooting. Cook will have the opportunity to be a three point specialist off the bench which the Thunder could use as their main point guard, Russel Westbrook, has yet to develop his three point shot. Overall though, this trade does not make Cook any more desirable than he would have been with the Heat.
