I can't believe OKC actually traded Ibaka. I'm going to miss that guy. Oladipo and Russ will be fun to watch at the very least.

I don't really see how a Westbrook + Oladipo backcourt works. Two bad three point shooters who gamble on defence.

maybe at power forward. It's either him or, uh, Ersan Ilyasova I guess. Presti just opened the presser by implying that Roberson and Adams development made him feel comfortable losing Serge.

Is this really the team that needs an all-defense no-offense point???

if there's one thing I've learned about Daryl Morey it's that he doesn't give a flying gently caress about team needs

But anyway having someone at backup PG who isn't 38 years old is probably good

It'll work like this: they now have the best 1-3 in the entire league hands down. That lineup is loving disgusting. I am extremely angry that this is not the new york knicks. what the gently caress the thunder traded ibaka and got better

Seriously though, Russ might punch Ilyasova right in the balls if he's trying to take charges in the playoffs.

Ersan is the most disappointing and streaky player you'll ever see don't get your hopes up for that dude. Although who knows maybe having no offensive responsibilities except draining wide open shots on passes from the best 1-3 in the league will make him look better.

Thunder are going to be crazy to watch next year. Westbrook Oladipo Durant who cares Adams ahh that looks like a really incredible team this sucks I hope their next owner kills themselves too and the thunder only win two championships

Oladipo's development seems like it's kinda stalled out and I don't get how anything OKC got in that trade is supposed to help their title chances more than Ibaka.

I don't believe the stalled out nonsense I think Scott Skiles made everyone on that team look much worse than they are, like he does with everyone.

Ibaka wasn't really good last year and hasn't looked good since his knee problem started. He'll be in the final year of his deal and with the cap would command a ton of money.

I think Oladipo could be really good being the 3rd option on a team with two top-5 players. Sabonis seems like a high energy big in the mold of Noah. Ilyasova can just stand in the corner and shoot wide open 3's all season. I think the Thunder are much deeper now.

Seems like the best time to sell high on Ibaka. Basically got 2 lottery talents and a stretch-4 who can make a rotation for a player who seems to be losing his athleticism.

He's smart as gently caress, he has remarkable reflexes and he can play with or without the ball. He's a very sharp defender. He's a monster two way player who can do whatever you need him to do and he didn't get shown off on a trash team coached by an anti-fun hell-man. I don't know how many ways to say I think the Thunder look really good after this trade.

Thank you Evan this is really good news to hear. On a related note I've been watching sabonis mixtapes and let me just say he's a lock for first team all rookie

I mean Ibaka was the best player in the trade, but you got a ton of good depth and players that will probably make you a better team.
