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.

To a certain degree, that's true.
But you're also overlooking the fact that the GM made a horrible deal to begin with. Which we should never overlook.

Well yeah, but it makes last year's trade bad in hindsight

I agree, just imagine if Demps simply admitted he screwed up trading for Asik & let him walk rather than compounding the mistake by giving him a big multi-year contract.
GMs are going to make mistakes, good ones realize it & cut their losses.

what people are taking issue with is that ORL knew what their options would be with ibaka at the end of this season when they traded oladipo and a pick to get him in the first place
this is no surprise

Pels should do the same thing with Jrue but we will lose him for nothing instead this summer.
