According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Oklahoma City acquired Moe Harkless and a 2029 second-round pick in exchange for Vit Krejci.
Harkless is on the move again, with the Hawks acquiring him from the Kings on July 1. His exit from Atlanta means that Jalen Johnson, who saw most of his minutes in the G League last season, has a shot at cracking the rotation. That won’t be enough to make the 2021 first-round pick a player worth targeting in drafts, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on him during the early stages of this season. As for Harkless’ fantasy potential in Oklahoma City, it isn’t very good. While the Thunder are expected to struggle again, the franchise’s priority has been getting its younger players all the minutes they can handle. In addition to the Thunder acquiring the 2029 second, the 2025 pick that Oklahoma City owes Atlanta is now top-40 protected.
