With Ty Lawson recently re-signing with the Thunder, rumors are he is getting traded. But why? And to who? Speaking to GM 8time he had a few words to say about the recent rumors.
Reporter: So rumors are you only re-signed Ty Lawson just to trade him. Is that true?
8 time: Yes it is true. He will be on the move in a sign and trade. I will not go into further details, but I wasn't just gonna let him walk for nothing. I needed assets in return.
Reporter: Why not just keep him? He averaged 24-7-4 for you after trading for him, and had your team competing towards the end of the season.
8time: I thank him for his contributions, but this is a business. And with my youth movement, he will only make my team win games. In return, I will receive a young prospect with really good potential to be a star. Plus Ty has been dealing with alcohol addiction. We can't have him around the young guys.
Reporter: So who is the team?
8 time: Don't worry about it. All I'm gonna say is that team will be competing next season with their other recent moves. I wish Ty Lawson the best, but he's older and I don't need older. I need younger on cap friendly contracts.
