Ibaka traded to Orlando

[Endless Paradise]

I wonder if OKC is planning on making a run at Noah. Gotta think McGary is expendable at this point and they could definitely use another defensive big. Doesn't hurt that he won two NCAA titles with Donovan. I think he's all but certainly heading to New York, though.

I think that's what's going to happen.

I see it as a total win for OKC. Sabonis/Kanter/Ilysasova can play the 4, and Oladipo gives them a massive upgrade at the 2. He can get after it on defense like Robertson, but he's also a threat on offense.

I really don't see Durant leaving now, and the Thunder could be the best team in the West.

Yeah, it's a fabulous steal for Oklahoma City. Durant's not going anywhere with the recommitment this deal evidences, and they'll make another serious run in the west.

My compliments to Sam Presti. Well done, sir. I am jealous.

As a bench player behind Adams?

I think he tries to regain some of his value where he can get more minutes and production for one more big contract, probably in New York. There's going to be a lot of personality on that team lol

They've just traded one of their best defenders for a person who needs the ball in his hands to be effective and two bad defenders.

They traded a expiring contract for a cost controlled 3 and D player they've needed for years. They made out like bandits in this trade. Orlando will look dumber when Ibaka walks next year.
