Marcus Smart, Jared Sullinger, Amir Johnson, Nets first for Ibaka and two throw-ins (Collison + Morrow or Roberson)

Is that an overpay? Is Ibaka worth it? Do the Thunder even talk to anyone about Ibaka?

Thomas, Bradley, Crowder are all signed for good value. Ibaka would need to sign extension, but paying him $15 mil+ would be so worth it. He would fit perfectly as a shot blocker who can also score.

Keep and develop all 4 young guys in Mickey, Rozier, Young, Hunter. Still have Olynyk. NBA-Ready depth would be an issue. Would need to consider keeping Zeller and/or Turner on 2 year contracts if possible. Would be great to get Roberson as a throw-in as a backup SF.

If Lee, Jerebko, Zeller, Turner are all let go in the offseason, there still should be room to go after a really nice free agent.

Hell no.

Might as well throw in the rest of the Brooklyn picks in order to sweeten the deal for OKC.

I would love Ibaka on the Cs and would be happy to see a deal centered around Sully and non-Brooklyn picks to get him, but I am still trying to catch my breath after reading the initial proposal...yikes!

I doubt OKC would make that trade.  Its a step back for their chance at a championship this season.  They're not going to do anything to impact their chances of re-signing Durant.

I think it would at least take either Smart or the Nets pick plus Amir/Sully.  What does it cost to get a top 20 player not named Carmelo or Dwight?

A couple years ago I might have given that get to Ibaka. While I still think he is a great talent, especially on defense. He is a third or fourth banana on a contender. Giving up that package would net us a first or second guy.
