Magic acquire Ibaka

[lakerboy]

For Oladipo/ilyasova and some other guy

[Mr KLC]

Just when you thought nothing else bad could happen in the city of Orlando.....

[lakerboy]

Okc completely raped Orlando.

[afgballer56]

oladipo is better than ibaka
for some reason the trade makes it loom like KD not comming bak

[Mr KLC]

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

[afgballer56]

oladipo westbrook nd durant cant all start ri???

[lakerboy]

Okc has the west wrapped up as long as durant stays.

[pavyracer]

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.

[afgballer56]

why did orlando make this trade
soo stupid of them

[thunderous]

oladipo is better than ibaka
for some reason the trade makes it loom like KD not comming bak

Not coming back?? It is to free up salary so they can pay KD and keep him...

[jjgold]

Steal for Okl city

[DeathAdder]

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

[BuckyOne]

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.

[adila1401]

OKC just robbed them

[Grits n' Gravy]

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.

[TheMoneyShot]

I wonder if Durant stays now?

[MoneyLineDawg]

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

[Gonz312]

Title should say thunder aquire oladipo

[gauchojake]

lol they got Oladipo for Ibaka? That's hilarious. Who is running the show in FL?

[Cuse0323]

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.

[seaborneq]

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

[lakerboy]

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.

[Codone69]

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)

[thetrinity]

complete steal, no wonder some of these teams suck every year, durant will still never win anything

Westbrook at the 2 KD at the 4

[Ballerholic]

Thunder are golden

[Ratpack]

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

[firekillex]

Westbrook at the 2 KD at the 4

Westbrook pg you mean, Dipo sg, ersan illyasova small forward, Durand PF then a mixe of Steven Adams and enes kanter at centre .. Actually a pretty solid squad

[jjgold]

If Durant stays they should win title now

[ROFLcopter]

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

[lakerboy]

Presti showing durant okc trying hard.

[firekillex]

If Durant stays they should win title now

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

[Git Lo]

Westbrook pg you mean, Dipo sg, ersan illyasova small forward, Durand PF then a mixe of Steven Adams and enes kanter at centre .. Actually a pretty solid squad

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

[jjgold]

Spurs done men

[firekillex]

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
