Why? Is OKC blowing the team up?

I see it as a strange trade of Orlando, though.

I'm not a gigantic fan of Ibaka.

He is a FA after next year...OKC must feel they won't be able to keep him if they have to sign Westbrook and Durant.

I really wonder what KD's reaction to that move is... I like Oladipo... but... hmmm...

My thought too. Makes no sense. Possible upgrade over waiters at 2 but ibaka will be missed.

Getting a good vibe for knicks

Nice pick by Indy with LeVert. I've been real impressed with their drafting the past few years. LeVert effectively replaces Solomon Hill who won't be back (Bird ****ed up here though--should've picked up Hill's additional year on his contract. He didn't and now Indy can only offer him no more than about $2.3mm per cap rules -- he's probably gonna get 3-3.5X that amount now).

Some really good talent here

Man o man if we could get murray

Murray is not NBA ready, if he's only 170 lbs at 6'5

What position did he play in college? Unless he's a PG, he seems extremely undersized at 170.....Which means he's actually 160 plus.....thats very light at 6'5.

Chris Paul is 20 lbs heavier and he's barely 6'0

Indy already traded that pick for Thad Young

Some dudes like endless potential and picks. It's easier to keep touting potential than to try to win games. Except sometimes you wind up like Boston or Philly with more picks than roster spots...

Are you his grandma? You gonna make him some potatosort to put meat on his bones? The kid can ball

He's light in the azz and he's young. Just like most players in this range, it's a crap shoot.

i still dont see him coming here

Why is everyone so negative. NYC is a great city to live in if you're loaded. Team is looking up. Eastern conference has its benefits. And while I think durant is super classy and could easily stay in okc I think Russell is gone and that's weighing on KD mind
