Ibaka has been playing well offensively but his defense has suffered. He is not as intimating in terms of interior defense as he was with Oklahoma. Nice mid range game and decent three point shooter this year. I have watched a lot of Magic basketball this season and quite surprised by the trade. Despite being awful, they have won some quality games at OKC, at San Antonio, at Toronto a week ago but they haven't been able to put it together Miami just won 13 straight recently and they are back in the playoff picture so is Philadelphia to some extent. The Magic gave up on this project too easily. They won against the Heat last night too.

It's just a problem of consistency with that team Vogel hasn't been able to find the right mix. You have 2 legitimate big men in Ibaka and Vucevic, you should give it some time.

Not bad. Serge has always been an A+ complementary piece who plays well off a star, or at least an established #1 option. Be interesting how he meshes with DeRozan/Lowry.

Let's see how/if the Cavs, Celts, and Wiz (with this GM? :dry:) respond.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
Ibaka brings us no where closer to beating Cleveland. Trading away anything of substance makes no sense short or long-term.

Ibaka fills in a massive hole for both the Raptors and the Celtics.

Justify it all you want but Ainge got caught holding the ball yet again.
