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

Nice trade for OKC.

Ridiculous overpay by Orlando. Ibaka is not the player he was two years ago.

KD had to approve this, right?

Brilliant trade by Sam Presti.

Anyone seriously still think Durant is leaving OKC now? They have reloaded.

Not really seeing the oladipo fit either.  Dude is a bit of a ball dominating chucker.

Everybody complaining about Ainge right now: take a look at Orlando and contemplate what might be the alternative.

I would think KD will be the 4 now, and OKC will begin playing at a faster pace. It definitely had to go through Durant for this trade to happen.

I just don't see the fit. Oladipo isn't a shooter and needs the ball to be effective, and at the 4 that's a major downgrade from Ibaka.

Almost certain they'll use Oladipo in the Harden/Martin/Jackson/Waiters role of microwave scorer off the bench. No idea what they're going to do with the power forward position. Adams and Kanter have had some success playing together (most notably against the Spurs in the playoffs), but as a starting tandem over an 82-game season? I don't know...

Probably start Durant at the four (If he comes back).

I'm interested, what do you think of this trade, EP? You seem a bit skeptical.

Hasn't he been on record saying he doesn't want to play the 4 full-time?

Talent wise it was an easy trade to say yes to but I also think it's a mess.   They should be looking for another trade.

I don't know, honestly. Still more in shock than anything. Not excited. Not nervous. Just kinda stunned.

Positive or negative for Durant and him staying? I can't see how it'd be a positive, though I don't know how much of a negative it really is either.
