It's like the world is saying fukk city of Orlando as a staff, record label, and as a motherfukking crew.
(Not to make light of the club shooting tragedy and the baby that got killed at Disneyworld, just to be clear).

Bad move for the Thunder,Ibaka gave them an athletic frontcourt big who can block shots,rebound and shoot the 3.Sabonis is big,but he has short arms.Oladipo is a inconsistent scorer and llyasova is a shytty defender.I don't like the trade for OKC.

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.

:what: Andre roberson was the starting sg this past season.

He's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and doesn't demand touches offensively.

More than just the fit though, it's the fact that they gave up Ibaka who's huge for their defense and lineup flexibility. Like they have one good defending big on the roster now

Roberson will still be starting and Oladipo will come off the bench as the 6th man. I don't think the Thunder are done making moves just yet.

I just need to see what else OKC has planned then, because as it is now I'm not a fan of the deal. Serge is more important than most realize

You can't see they are trying to improve the roster BEFORE KD makes his decision.. This is a championship team right here..
They already had a championship team :why:

Their only obstacle in the West was GS and they had them on the ropes. Thanks in large part to Serge being long and athletic enough to play the 5 and give Draymond hell

Probably because they felt they needed a third option and Ibaka wasn't cutting it. Although Oladipo probably won't start he'll still get close to 30 minutes.

There's definitely a big hole there defensively but they will still have more than enough depth to cover the 4. It'll be interesting to see if they try to move Kanter for a more defensive balance.
