The Thunder has traded reserve forward Ersan Ilyasova and a conditional draft pick for Sixers forward Jerami Grant, per Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

Grant is a third-year small forward out of Syracuse who averaged 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks last season for Philadelphia. The 22-year-old is very athletic and defensive-minded, basically the opposite of Ilyasova.
