So where does the Oladipo trade leave Waiters? Do they let him go?

I hope this is just Presti saving face and not serge actually being unhappy and wanting to be traded :smith:

More importantly:

"The first thing to understand is that the trade never would have been made if there was a chance it would have affected Durant's decision in free agency; it won't, said a person close to the All-Star and former MVP."

Small chance of that...

I think it's a really good trade for the Thunder. Ibaka wasn't that good last year and they got young talents in Oladipo and Sabonis. Ilyasova can stand in the corner and knock down wide open 3's at a better rate than Ibaka.

Team is much deeper now and outside of the Warriors gives Durant the best chance to win over the next few years.

Yeah but it makes them match up worse with the Warriors even if Durant stays. Ibaka let them play that huge switching lineup and it gave GSW fits.

I think Sabonis is basically a younger McGary. Given Mitch's conditioning and really weird multi-week absence near the end of the season, I don't know if he's part of the future.

Waiters had some really miserable games in the WCF. IMO his bad games hurt more than his good games helped.

No. No. No.

You need to be very happy with that trade and push Waiters away. Far away. Far away from Philly too.

Very good in the context of he's pretty good, OKC + Durant/Westbrook need to win a title now, and it's his contract year.
