2016 NBA Draft Thread

Crazy return for OKC, I'm shocked.

I like Orlando breaking up that perimeter nucleus. Those guys could not play together. Too little shooting. Payton, A.Gordon, Oladipo. Frees up minutes for Hezonja. Keep Fournier in there. Ibaka adds some shooting and importantly interior defense. I like that.

Ainge is like a Deer in Headlights tonight...

and he's had MONTHS to prepare .

[danglertx]

Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.

Omg, I might freaking flip right now.. Does Danny plan on doing anything to improve our team?!

I'm right there with you ........I'm almost in shock

Danny will make all 8 picks I swear

If he uses 4 of them on stash guys over 6'10 I'd be OK with it.

[slamtheking]

guessing Ibaka has less in the tank than people realize.  Not seeing this as move that's going to convince Durant to stay long term

[YeezusChrist]

The thunder traded away any chance of keeping KD their team was great as is

[Tr1boy]

I think that's a trash trade for the thunder.  Ilysova is awful.  Sabonis is your typical overrated college big man.  And Oladipo is one the most overrated players in the nba.

Ibaka is good but not amazing

so it's a good trade for both teams

How does kd feel about ibaka being traded?

[Snakehead]

Maybe a straw towards KD leaving though.

[jpotter33]

Oladipo + Sabonis for Ibaka. Interesting move for OKC.

I wonder how Oladipo will fit next to Westbrook. Shades of Dion Waiters?

I don't like the fit at all. AB is an absolute perfect example of the type you need next to Westbrook and Durant -> not high usage, 3 and D guy who is a good shooter. That's not really Oladipo at all. So stupid.

i feel like the celtics have another shocker coming

How about a second round pick for Andrew Nicholson? Ainge has that ace up his sleeve!

[PhoSita]

Henry Ellenson at 16 anyone???

Yes please. I like the Memo Okur comparisons.

Ellenson at 16 would be awesome value

Ellenson is Ryan Anderson without the money jumper

[mef730]

Wow, another reach. Keep going guys!

Mike

[ImShakHeIsShaq]

why did they trade ibaka, didn't he beast n the playoffs? i thought he shot like 50% from 3.

Thanks Danny:
Discussion between the Bulls and Wolves have reached an advanced stage, sources say, with a real chance now for a Thibodeau/Butler reunion
