    Thunder just pulled a Jerry West. Got a starting 2 guard, power forward, promising rookie and shed salary? Not bad at all.

    Looks like Orlando got the better of the deal. Off loaded two mediocre players for a potential MVP. Ibaca will feast in the weak East.

    Thats a bad trade for Orlando. Only reason Ibaka was decent was because of the two 7 footers and KD + Westy. He's going to get exposed in Orlando. GM's are so bad these days

    Maybe, it is a good deal for Ibaka-he was a team player @ OKC who supported the two superstars-now maybe he gets to be part of the offense? After Durant & Westbrook get done shooting there just are not many shots left. Remember James Harden? Not sure this is a good deal for Oladipo.

    Gotta love Presti for flipping Ibaka for a young guard to either start at the 2 or run with 2nd unit and some younger bigs for a guy who needed a change of scenery. Good deal for OKC. Orlando now has Ibaka taking minutes from their best young talent in Gordon.

    Great deal for OKC

    Ibaka wasn't happy as 3rd fiddle and getting phased out by Kanter and Adams at times....told the OKC GM he wasn't going to resign as he only has 1 year left

    Oladipo is underrated IMO and they get a nice rookie and decent rotation guy

    Hard to be a Magic fan. At least the Knicks are doing some things. Not that either team will win anytime soon.

    Dipo was gonna be a FA after this year, and want big money that they wouldn't pay is all I can see. But wait, Ibaka will be a FA too and want the same. Should have used their pick. Elfrid, Mario, Gordon, Ibaka, Vuc isn't terrible, I guess. No depth though, and then they trade Layman who could have been a shooter, and defend. They kept Zimmerman Jr though with the 47th pick. 7 foot project coming off a bum knee. Oh boy. He was a top 20 prospect though before the injury. I like Sabonis too, even though they took him to trade. Skilled big man, with such a smooth game. Perfect complement to Adams. Good job OKC.

    Once again, a few years ago it was a choice between Harden and Ibaka. Now the Thunder give Ibaka away and Harden is an all NBA caliber player

    Guys okc made out like bandits here. They added depth and inside play with some shooting as well. Dept was the issue and presti robbed Orlando. Ibaka will be a non factor in a few years.

    The frontline now for OKC is the key. They ought to throw some change to Sabonis dad to come in for the summer and work with kanter and Adams. OKC is set for extended run if the new guy will now help Durant to stop dribbling (off his big feet)

    could go 50/50 illasovya is like kyle singler wh didnt even come off the bench for the playoffs for the thunder
    oladipo could play the 2 but thats a small 2 and if he comes off the bench hes just like waiters so thats kind of weird and both of those 2 need the ball
    I think it works for sabonis but they have mcgary that they drafted a while ago and i think hes next up when it comes to the bigs for okc so we will see

    Oladipo is a nice defender too. Will be very helpful having Westbrook and Oladipo guarding the shooters on GSW

    still in the bottom part of the top5 in league even after this move
    noboey knows if dipo and Westbrook will be able to coexist yet either

    if they can dang that'll be the most explosive backcourt in the nba by miles , still gsw ,cavs,Spurs,lac and okc are all around the same level , one move can swing the pendulum for either team and it looks like gsw are shooting for something big and spurs are going for mike Conley

    Westbrook is like 6'4 they can slide him there, have oladipo play PG, Roberson at the 3. This is real even trade but a borderline dumb trade for both teams

    Highly highly doubt they take out Westbrook from Pg duties he was 2nd in the league in assists and dipo was playing SG for the magic with Peyton at PG , I think Roberson moves to bench and ersan is starting 3 as well unless they want him to come off bench and score then leave Roberson on for defense depending on match ups
