The Oklahoma City Thunder are a good team, but they haven’t been able to live up to expectations. They have lost many games against the elite teams and this offseason will bring much change to the team. Here are five players who won’t be on the Thunder in the 2016-17 NBA season.

5. Josh Huestis

Josh Huestis signed with the Thunder this season after spending time in the D-League during the previous season. The Thunder need to make some moves and Huestis will be a piece that is traded as part of a smaller deal.

4. Mitch McGary

Mitch McGary played well for the Thunder during his limited spots last season. The Thunder needed more people to perform with Kevin Durant missing significant time and McGary filled in admirably. But he will also be traded for a rotational player.

3. Randy Foye

The Thunder acquired Randy Foye in a trade with the Nuggets. Foye should be getting more minutes, but he still hasn’t had any impact on the Thunder. He will be gone since he is a free agent this summer and looking to get more money than he is worth.

2. Andre Roberson

Andre Roberson is one of the best defenders in the league, but his offense is limited. On offense, the Thunder are often at a disadvantage with him, and they will decide to trade him for an upgrade because they need a better two-way player.

1. Kevin Durant

Durant and Russell Westbrook are a dynamic duo, but they haven’t been able to win together. Once the season ends and the duo doesn’t win again, Durant will leave for a better option. Sometimes change is necessary.

Pistons point guard and former teammate of Durant's in Oklahoma City Reggie Jackson was rather animated after the win. Jackson's antics didn't sit well with Durant, who called his behavior "bush league."

Drummond Makes Westbrook Look Like A Nobody With Rejection

The Detroit Pistons have quietly worked their way into the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, and they have been playing some excellent basketball of late. Much of Detroit's success can be attributed to Andre Drummond, who is having a fantastic campaign. On Tuesday night, Drummond let Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook know not to drive the lane without thinking twice by emphatically rejecting his layup attempt in this video.

James Harden Decided Against Contesting Russell Westbrook's Dunk

James Harden clearly isn't worried about what people think of his defensive inefficiencies. He proved this to be the case on Tuesday night, as he inexplicably gave Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook a clear lane to the basket after he turned the ball over during this sequence. Harden's a spectacular scorer, but he will likely never give enough effort on both ends to be a Hall of Famer.
