If you combine both trades, I agree it doesn't look good.

However, I do respect that their GM can make current moves that aren't based on past moves, which I think is one of Dell's biggest faults (realizing sunk costs).

Admittedly, I haven't watched much of the Magic the season, but it seems like Ibaka hasn't been a good fit there. Rather than letting him walk in FA, they at least acquired something for him. Could they have gotten more if they waited until the deadline? Maybe. But I wouldn't expect Ibaka, an upcoming FA, to fetch much more than this.

Edit to add Lowe's tweets:

Zach Lowe ?@ZachLowe_NBA 10m10 minutes ago More Depressing trade sequence for ORL, but they weren't going to get any better return on a guy who didn't work out/was going to leave.

?@ZachLowe_NBA 7m7 minutes ago More Other offers on Ibaka -- the ones I had heard about, at least -- were shockingly weak. Impending free agency cooled market.


It's apparent that expirings don't have the appeal that they once did.

It doesn't matter what you paid for a guy!!! How do some people still not get this???

If you want to lower Orlandos grade in the OKC trade, that's fine. But that cost is already spent.

Orlando's current options were a deal like this, lose him for nothing, or overpay him. So THIS deal is good for them and should be graded as such.
