NBA Trade: 3 contracts the Oklahoma City Thunder need to offload this summer

#2 Andre Roberson

Roberson has not featured for the Thunder for more than a year

Back in 2017, Andre Roberson signed a 3-year $30 million contract to remain with the Thunder. The forward has been a regular starter for the team since 2015, although the defensive stopper has missed the last 15 months through injury, allowing the likes of Terrance Ferguson to lay claim to his place in the starting five.

Roberson undoubtedly remains one of the NBA's best defenders, and the 27-year-old has previously demonstrated that he fits well into a team alongside Paul George and Russell Westbrook. Nevertheless, Roberson's poor offense remains a major concern, and there are also question marks over how badly his current injury will affect him once he returns to the court.

Ultimately, the Thunder have performed better than expected without Roberson in the team, and if the team goes on a lengthy playoff run, it may be time to move on.
