Lauvergne, 24, appeared in 83 games during two seasons in Denver, putting up averages of 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes a night.
This may spell the end of the Mitch McGary Era in OKC.
Possible ripple-effect of the trade: There's a pretty good chance Mitch McGary isn't going to play another game with the Thunder.

The Thunder will likely be aggressive with trades and can now move frontcourt players (McGary, Ilyasova) for other position (SF) help.
