Boxing Day offers excellent sales – and also is when people make returns. Which gift should the OKC Thunder be returning and why?

Tony Heim: Going off my last answer, let’s return all the memories with Kevin Durant in a Thunder jersey. I can’t deal with the pain, I need it erased from my memory.

Heather Koontz: I’m almost positive he came with a giant sticker reading ‘ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS’, but I hope there’s a way to give Kyle Singler back to Detroit. I’m tired of watching him swoop his hair back as he runs across the court.

Cole Hixon: Is it too late to return the 2014 draft? How about an exchange; Mitch McGary and Josh Huestis for Rodney Hood and Kyle Anderson? Well if not then can we return Kyle Singler to Detroit? If it has to be this year I’ll return Semaj Christon shooting outside the paint. He is 9-33 (27.3%) on mid range shots and 5-23 (21.7%) from 3.

Casimir Cuffy: The Thunder should return this Sabonis as a starter notion. I love Sabonis. I think he will be great in this league. But not right now, not if they want to contend for a championship. His replacement is NOT on the roster, that much is clear. I just think they shouldn’t be content with him starting.

Jeremy Lambert: Semaj Christon. With Cam Payne returning, Christon should be out of the rotation, which is great, because he doesn’t do anything well.

Rich Condon: I’m sure Yaman said Semaj, but I’d return the Ibaka trade, despite how much I love Oladipo and Sabonis. Ultimately, I think Serge would’ve helped OKC more post-Durant than Dipo and Domas.

Yaman Khabbaz: The player has to be Kyle Singler. He’s the worst, and most obsolete, player on the roster right now, and he surely is not worth 25M over 5 years. Singler gets money to sit on the bench and be unproductive when off it. Cutting/trading him is the only way out.
