The Thunder have issued a press release confirming that three separate minor trades reported earlier in the day have been officially completed. The following trades were finalized, per the team:
- The Thunder sent Lindy Waters to the Warriors in exchange for the draft rights to No. 52 pick Quinten Post (story).
- The Thunder then sent Post’s rights and cash to the Trail Blazers in exchange for the draft rights to No. 40 pick Oso Ighodaro (story).
- Finally, the Thunder sent the rights to Ighodaro and cash to the Knicks in exchange for the draft rights to No. 38 pick Ajay Mitchell (story). The Knicks received $500K in cash, per Fred Katz of The Athletic (Twitter link).
While the deals were completed as three separate transactions, the upshot is that the Thunder sent out Waters (to the Warriors) and cash (to both the Blazers and Knicks) in exchange for Mitchell, the No. 38 pick in today’s second round.
Post eventually landed with Golden State, while Ighodaro was sent to Phoenix.

A native of Belgium, Mitchell had an impressive junior season for UC Santa Barbara in 2023/24, averaging 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.2 steals on .504/.393/.858 shooting in 29 games (31.5 minutes per contest).
A lot of moving and shaking.
Pretty good numbers from Post! 42% 3pt, 3 assists, 7 footer, 7’2 wingspan. Could have a future in the nba
Mid majors stats so hard to transcribe
Spurs are going to regret not picking Mitchel at 36. Would have been the best spot for him.
Seems OKC really wanted him with these trades.
I thought the Warriors bought back Post’s rights? I’m very confused on who has him right now
That Warriors trade to get Post back isn’t official yet, but yeah, they’ll eventually end up with him. Mentioned that in the article:
