Why OKC do it:
They get more frontcourt depth as they look to make a playoff push
Claxton can both play alongside Chet and on the minutes without him
DFS gives them another defensive pest similar to Dort, but with more size to take PF minutes
This might be the last chance of OKC selling Giddey for good to great value, and if they can't find an all-star, 2 teams needs not completely washed might do it
Why BRK do it:
Remove them the burden of having to pay Claxton
As their current offense looks a lot better with Simmons, Giddey can fit a similar role and is still on his rookie deal
