And Sabonis, who's started every game for OKC, definitely got trade raped.

If Raptors could somehow pull off Millsap too, the Cavs would no longer have a lock on the Finals. But I'm not sure what the Raptors have left to give.

I feel like Boston is that team, but at the same time I think the need to make a move. But idk for what. I like their bigs and Isiah is at the ball he needs to be the primary ball handler

I think it was either Ibaka or Millsap. Nogueira is a good backup for Valanciunas and now you have Siakam and Patterson backing up Ibaka

Cleveland's weakness is now Toronto's strength. They can now throw 4 bigs at them with very manageable minutes. Can Lowry and Derozan show up in the playoffs though?

Holy frick OKC

The Raptors tried to trade for Ibaka ahead of last summer's draft. OKC' asking price: Joseph, Patterson, Powell, Toronto's 9th-overall pick - Josh Lewenberg

What in God's name is Orlando doing?

OKC trades Ibaka, in a contract year for Oladipo, Sabonis (Magic 2016 1st), AND Ilyasova (turned him into 22 year old Anthony Grant).

Then they get less than 4 months out of Ibaka only to seek out Terrence Ross and a worse pick then they traded to OKC?

Yikes.

It is bad. But I guess they recognized their massive mistake and tried to make the best of it.

Also, why did OKC trade him in the first place?


He drove KD crazy and they brought in a wing scorer in Oladipo who Durant was outspokenly high on.

Worked out well!

Nice trade for the raptors. Don't think Serge's market will be super strong so I can see him resigning there since he and the GM are boys.

Adams and Kanter, needed another ball handler.

Kanter will be traded too.

Adams and Sabonis are the future front court for OKC. 23 and 20 respectively. Thunder FO is extremely high on Sabonis.

It is a good deal for both teams.


Only Orlando could turn Oladipo and the 11th pick in last year’s draft into Ross and a pick likely at the end of this year’s first round.

Orlando is really dumb.
