I read this:

On the Thunder side of things, this is great news. We finally got rid of our dead weight in Wilcox, and our roster continues to look more impressive. But, when you think of it lineup-wise, it really doesn't work.

C- Chandler/Krstic/Swift/Sene

PF- Durant/Collison

SF- Green

SG- Weaver/Atkins/Wilkins

PG- Westbrook/Watson

Do you honestly believe that Durant and Collison are going to split minutes? Neither do I. Honestly, 1 of 3 things are going to happen after this trade:

1: Durant moves back to SF, with Green moving to SG (or vice-versa).

2: Krstic loses his spot in the rotation.

3: The Thunder have another move in the works.

I'd like to think of 3 as the optimal solution, but who knows. All I do know is that whatever happens, I think the Thunder made the right move here, as I don't think benching Krstic or sliding Durant and Green down is an incredibly bad thing. Now, all we need is a Shooting Guard....

so I wonder if we can't take Collison off their hands in exchange for helping them get Salmons

honestly I think the Kings can get better offers for Salmons, but it is worth discussing

sorry, my trade checker just broke, I'll post the idea later

That guy you quote doesn't even know his own team. Durant is playing at the 3, not as a PF. He also says Sene is an awesome player. I wouldn't take his baskeball insights very seriously.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

I don't think we'll be getting involved in a trade before the deadline. Call me a pessimist, but I don't see it.
