IP's Thoughts On The Thunder:PG: Jrue Holiday, Kirk Hinrich, Keyon DoolingSG: Keith Bogans, Alexey Shved, E'Twaun MooreSF: Kevin Durant, Mickael GelabalePF: Josh Smith, Lamar Odom, (Jason Thompson)C: Kendrick Perkins, Jason Thompson, Hasheem ThabeetI Love: Foundation around Holiday, Durant, and Smith. Very similar to what the Thunder have now, although weaker in some areas, they're stronger in others. While not the current flavor of the month, I think Smith to be at worst a peer of Ibaka's on defense, if not his better. On offense, Ibaka has a very definite skill with a jumper, but Smith is a much better package. He always gets accused of having a terrible shot selection, but people forget he's the first option on offense and was every time Joe Johnson wasn't on the floor. With Durant he is the clear as day second option, and (will finish later)

Paul Westphal is the coach. He'd be great with that type of a team. Josh Smith would be incredible at power forward in that type of a setup.
Wow, IP sure does go all out with the write-ups. I can't wait to see what he says about my team, if he dares. Not gonna pretend to be the wordsmith you are IP, but I do actually like the team you've built. Irving and Barnes are going to be something special together in a few years. Anderson is defintely a good complement at PF. His ability to spread the floor will work great with the drive and dish gaame of Irving, and Barnes ability to get to get the basket as well.You just have make sure to just let Bynum sign elsewhere next year though. Dude is washed up. I'd imagine you should still have cap space to figure out a better option at center with Bynum's contract off the books.

They're committed to keeping him, and it cost them a deal on the table for Pau Gasol.

Teletovic, 10 minutes, 4-7 from the field, 1-2 from range, +3 tonight against the bulls. Kind of exactly what you want from your bench stretch 4. Just sound drafting here folks, nothin magic about it, despite how it might look.
