TRADE

Orlando sends Serge Ibaka, 5.10, and 6.16

Minnesota sends 2.25, 3.25, and 6.1

Maybe Im unfamiliar with Ibaka's offensive repetoire, but I don't like the idea of pairing Lebron with a big man that can't score outside the paint.

Can't score outside the paint? Ibaka is almost automatic from mid-range and recently stretched his range to the 3 point line.

Ibaka actually has a pretty strong jumper now.  Anecdotal but this year he seemed to get more buckets outside the paint than in.

Might be a bit early, but ill take Andre Drummond with the confidence that he reaches stardom. Can't go wrong with 2 20 year old big men with unlimited potential.

Been waiting on this pick since about 1120. 

Anyway, Phoenix will take the third best PF, after LA and a healthy Kevin Love:

David West

Hmm, a West and Duncan Frontcourt.  That sounds good, I wonder what it would look like if you could add Kobe to that frontcourt pairing.

Maybe if it was, say, for the hawks..then yeah I'd like it. Not in suns gear tho.

Ibaka's actually developed into a pretty reliable mid-range threat. He actually attempted more field goals from 16-23 feet than around the rim last year, and he hit those mid-range jumpers at a 47% clip, which is very respectable.

[Rondo2287]

Whoah, i did say Maybe I was unfamiliar, it looks like I very much was unfamiliar, sorry Serge.

I think you're unfamiliar. Ibaka's strength is face-up, spot-up shooting. Shot 57% from the field, 35% from 3, and had a 61% TS%. Combine that with great athleticism and elite defensive skills, I think they are a great inside-outside offense/defensive combo.

Didn't see it in the playoffs. When Russ went down Ibaka came up short, big time, when asked to play Robin.

I like Ibaka but there's tons of guys available I'd rather have playing alongside James.

Still you got Lebron. So minny is already a contender.

i'm very upset my scrolling text --- the first of the draft BTW! --- is chopped.

You think I got lowballed, or am I misreading this?  I felt like after the top 5-6 picks this round there was a pretty big plateau.

HAHA...sorry 'Toine.

Don't be like that. I'm sure we can find agreement on another trade.
