OKC trades Serge Ibaka to Orlando...

[DoubleJ13]

Ersan is probably done, I don't know a damn thing about the kid that was drafted, & it's hilarious that Presti doesn't ever seem to let go of his draft targets that he can't get.

Only thing I really know is Presti did just avoid giving Waiters a straight up ridiculous contract though

 

[Emoryal]

Bro I hope you're joking

 

[Malta]

didnt Serge fall off this year anyways? Im surprised @Malta doesnt like this....Sabonis is a stud and you'll still have Westbrook and KD carrying the scoring load.

Sabonis isn't going to start for them, he's a rookie and they are a title contender, he will be at the end of the bench.

I don't like it because as much as I like Oladipo he and Westbrook need spacing to operate, if you're bringing Oladipo off the bench then you're going to have to max out a bench player who is due for an extension soon, which is what they did with Kanter, a dude they don't even want anymore

 

[GoldenGlove]

I don't like this move for the Thunder at all, why trade a starter to get a guy and use him as a backup?


They need a starting level PF now too, Ersan was trash last year.

This is a great move for OKC.

Are you serious?

We haven't won a title yet, your free to join

Take him . Watch out as hell cry tank at the first sign of trouble or say fukk KD Oladipo should be starting

They will miss the defense, but the 3 pointers are whatever at this point.

The Cavs just beat the Warriors making eight 3s a game.

6 in the closeout game.

The Cavs still needed the spacing that Love & RJ provided, without that gravity you're going to have a crowded paint. Here are all the PF's that can shoot the three and defend -

Millsap, Draymond, Kristaps, Ibaka & Marvin Williams.


This move only makes sense if they clear space & get Horford or M. Williams, outside of that they'd take a step back IMO.

 

[Loose]

I clearly said Ersan, he played for Detroit and their defense got better once they got rid of him, he's not a starting level PF.




He's not going to be a major contributor for a year or two, you're not winning a title giving a rookie major minutes.

I rather play a rookie then the net negative assassin enes kanter

No more Waiters Island

Dipo has huge shoes to fill. The love/hate relationship with Dion is hard, near impossible to replace.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Soooo....

Does Aaron Gordon play the 3 now? ?

 

[Malta]

This is a great move for OKC.

Are you serious?

How is it great for them if they want to contend for a title?

If they can't sign anyone in FA, how is this a great move?

Oladipo is an upgrade from Waiters.

Sabonis can start...not sure why you dont think he can. He's as pro ready as anyone.

 

[Audemar]

Ibaka wasn't too bad this time around, but in recent years, he has not come up big when needed. It will be interesting to see how OKC will progresses.

Sabonis is not going to start there isn't a rookie in this draft that should start for a title contender.

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

That is what I am thinking...if you know you keeping KD and Westbrook then Serge is the perfect guy to go with them...

If you know one is probably leaving then Ibaka would be the first one you would move...

Victor can't shoot for shyt and has to have the ball in his hand to be effective so I guess he is the backup pg...or primary ballhandler on the second unit...

I like Victor on OKC...Ersan won't e able to cut it defensively against big men in the west...

Interesting to see what they do in free agency now...

KD doesn't have the balls to go anywhere else. He's the "servant", as he called himself.

I think they're looking at GS and decided they needed more shooting. Oladipo is a huge upgrade over Waiters.

@Malta suprised you dont like this move breh
