The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a trade sending the No. 37 overall pick, Ryan Conwell, to the Miami Heat, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. In exchange for the rights to Conwell, the Thunder will receive the No. 41 overall selection and cash considerations from Miami.
The move allows the Miami Heat to move up four spots in the second round of the NBA Draft to secure the former Indiana State and Xavier guard. Conwell joins a Heat organization looking to bolster its backcourt depth through the draft. For Oklahoma City, the trade follows a familiar pattern of maximizing draft-day assets and flexibility, moving back slightly in the order while receiving a financial incentive in the process.
This transaction marks another active moment in the second round as teams look to navigate the draft board to target specific prospects. Official confirmation from both the Thunder and the Heat is expected shortly following the conclusion of the draft's second round. No further players or future draft capital were reported as part of the swap between the two franchises at this time.
