The Oklahoman answered the most relevant trade deadline questions in Oklahoma City as Thursday's 2 p.m. deadline looms.

As the best team in the Western Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder don't need to make a desperate or splashy move ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. However, they have 30 draft picks over the next six years and have plenty of cheap, tradeable players, so if they want to make a move, they certainly can.

The Charlotte Hornets have made their second trade of the calendar year, completing a draft pick swap with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jeff Peterson and the Hornets sent a conditional second-round pick in 2030 that originally belonged to the Nuggets to Oklahoma City in exchange for the Phoenix Suns' second-round pick in 2029.
