re: San Antonio and Oklahoma City how did they turn it around in last 3-4 years?

Remember Serge Ibaka? It all started with him. They traded Ibaka to Orlando for Oladipo and Sabonis. A year later, he flipped those players to Indiana for Paul George. Two years later, he sends PG13 to LA for SGA, Gallinari and those picks.

Problem is, every time the Pels have a franchise player who requests a trade, all of the LA and NY teams have already emptied their chest of draft picks

We end up taking back misfit toy players and try to make them work so we fan sell a few season tickets
