But the real gem is Chucky Atkins, whom the Thunder also received in the trade. Believe it or not, he is going to be a major trade chip this summer. His deal counts as $3.4 million on the books for trades, but only $760,000 of that is guaranteed. As a result, he'll be a target for any team dancing with the luxury-tax line -- they can deal a contract worth up to $4.5 million for Atkins, waive Atkins while eating the $760K guarantee, and end up clearing about $3.5 million off their books. Thus, he is likely to generate more assets for the rebuilding Thunder in a second trade.
