Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

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.
