What do the Thunder need in the draft?

The Oklahoma City Thunder have already been active in the draft trade talks. According to a source the Thunder had offered the Cavaliers Perkins their two first round picks for the firs overall pick. So what exactly does that mean the Thunder were after? Well getting rid of Perkins would mean that OKC would need a new center and Noel from Kentucky might be the exact thing the Thunder needed. The Cavaliers declined. So with Perkins still on the team do the Thunder still want to pursue a center who can bring offense or do they like what they have in Hasheem Thabeet? With Kevin Martin and Kendrick Perkins both free agents, Sam Presti is going to have to make some decisions. The draft is full of really good guards that the Thunder could get with their picks. Michigan's Trey Burke was very productive in March Madness and could provide a offensive consistency the Thunder need if they are going to continue to start Thabo Sefelosha. Michael-Carter Williams from Syracuse is also someone that interests me. He can play both point guard and shooting guard with his aggressive defense he could go perfect with a young Jeremy Lamb and Sefelosha to develop. The biggest void in the Thunder though is offensive production at the center position. Kendrick Perkins only averaged a whopping 4 points a game (If even that much). Hasheem Thabeet is still raw but has crazy size that could turn out to be a great pairing with Serge Ibaka. If the Thunder could get the first pick and take Noel....wow they would be dangerous. Sam Presti should take a good look at the centers in the draft, Perkins is being payed a lot of money that the Thunder could quiet frankly do without spending right now. There is great value at both shooting guard and center. Well with the James Harden trade in place, OKC has two first rd picks and could get both a SG and Center but if Jeremy Lamb develops into what they want him to be, Big man is key.
