As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Oklahoma City Thunder should focus on touching up the corners — if that. No need to fundamentally change the painting. The Thunder have been the league's best team this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced they have signed Ajay Mitchell to a standard deal. He was previously on a two-way contract for the first half of the season. It's reportedly a two-year, $6 million contract.

Considering all that, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Thunder make minimal moves at the NBA trade deadline. Sam Presti made a handful of roster changes, but those were on the margins. OKC will ride out with the squad that's led it to its cushy first-place lead.
