That was a flat out awful trade. The thunder were somewhat competitive with the heat in the finals last year. If harden plays well, they have a shot to win that series. Harden is too good to have another awful finals like that. Give that core 3 a few more years to get better and they're going to eventually beat the heat, maybe not this year but certainly within the next 3 years. You can find a guy that blocks shots and plays good help defense to come close to what ibaka gives you. You can't find a guy to give you close to what harden gives you...also, Kevin Martin is awful and those picks are going to be role players at best and non-factors at worst. Thunder really fukked up with that trade.
my bad forgot about 06' finals
they have Toronto's lottery pick and Jeremy Lamb. They will probably draft a Center to eventually replace Perkins... and there's a lot of Centers in this draft.
Too early to tell if the team is screwed but they have assets

They have Perry Jones, if brooks wasnt such a dumbass he woulda been getting minutes all year to develop into something. He might still become a decent center (which is all you need at that position nowadays).
On another note, how realistic would it be for presti to trade both their #1s this year for a 2014 lottery? Just something I thought about a couple days ago. Doubt anyone would do it but theres some dumb gms out there

nikka is 7 ft tall, stick him in there
keeping ibaka over harden was an easy decision

Exactly...its like the Heat releasing Chris Bosh to keep Udonis Haslem or some shyt
Keep the main three intact, fill the rest of the team with whatever.
Jones and Lamb not getting minutes this year was retarded, they could have thrown them out there against a gang of bad teams just so they can get minutes. That's why even though they have the Toronto pick, it's like will Brooks even play whoever they draft?
