The terms of Mike Muscala’s contract have yet to be officially confirmed, but most likely, it’ll be a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum ($2 million, in this case). That’s pretty fair value for a stretch-big who can help the Oklahoma City Thunder where they need it most.
Yes, 3-point shooting was OKC’s glaring Achilles heel last season, and though it’s hilarious the Los Angeles Lakers traded Ivica Zubac for just 17 games of Muscala, hopefully he’ll get more run on a Thunder squad that could really use a few stretch-bigs to space the floor.
In his time between the Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers, Moose posted 7.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per game while shooting 34.8 percent from deep. The Thunder will be hoping for more than that, even if this deal only winds up being for the minimum.
Grade: C
