The Oklahoma City Thunder NBA G League affiliate, the OKC Blue, is fresh off a historic season capped off with their first NBA G League Championship. This offseason, the team has seen plenty of turnover only a week removed from shipping off Caleb McConnell to the Swarm, the Blue made another move from their title team.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
The NBA season is in the dead of the offseason, but a crumb of news came trickling out on Thursday that the Oklahoma City Blue are involved in a four-team trade in the NBA G League this offseason.
The Greensboro Swarm have announced the completion of a 4-team trade which netted them the "Returning rights" to Zavier Simpson and Caleb McConnell. Those names may appear familiar as they both played for the Charlotte Hornets Summer League team which went 7-1 this off-season.
