With McDermott, the Thunder add shooting to a roster that currently ranks 29th in the League in 3-point shooting percentage. McDermott is a career 40 percent 3-point shooter. For the Bulls, the addition of Cam Payne likely means that one of Michael Carter-Williams or Rajon Rondo will no longer be on the team next season. The Thunder will also receive a 2018 second-round pick.
