The day of guys secretly requesting a trade appears to be behind us. On the heels of Goran Dragic reportedly telling the Suns to trade him because he won’t re-sign with them, OKC’s Reggie Jackson has reportedly requested the Thunder to trade him as well.
In the case of Jackson, it’s a bit different, as he has stated he wants to be a starter in this league.
The agent for Oklahoma City guard Reggie Jackson has asked general manager Sam Presti to trade his client before Thursday’s NBA deadline, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
CAA’s Aaron Mintz made the request in the past seven to 10 days, and several teams around the league became aware as officials probed for information on potentially dealing for Jackson, league sources said.
Jackson, 24, has made it clear to the Thunder that he would be resistant to returning to the franchise should it keep him for the rest of the season and then decide to match an offer sheet in restricted free agency this summer.
