Marcus Smart, "I don't like it."
When you're in the Thunder as a rookie, you'd probably watch and linger around in a suit during games. During the shootaround, reporters had flocked to the facility in order to discover something more about the team. Marcus Smart was then asked, "What things can you bring this team to the table?" and he replied with an unexpected reply. "I can do a lot. But coach just ain't playing me enough." The Former OSU Cowboy showed how much he hated being on the bench, and not learning on the fly. "I can do a lot better than them. Coach Brooks isn't just trusting us rookies."
He then added, "I already talked to Sam about a trade. I'm here in the NBA to dominate the court, not the bench." There have been rumors circling around that the Thunder are trying to acquire former Thunder Jeff Green. The Thunder are also actively pursuing the Trailblazers' Nicolas Batum. The Former NCAA Superstar averaged 15.4 points, 4.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds in 33.5 minutes of action during the 2012-2013 NCAA Season.
Challenge!

2. If yes, who would they trade for? Batum or Green?
3. If yes, how many Thunder players would be involved in the trade?
