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

i still dont see him coming here

Agreed. I don't think Durant comes here no matter what. When it's all said and done I think he stays in OKC. At least on a 1 and 1 to see what Russ does

At least he's already agreed to talk with us July 1st is enough for me to say he's thinking about playing with us, he might not sign but i believe we have a better chance than most on here. He's good friends with Rose and Melo and we do have that unicorn kid.

He has not agreed to talk with us July 1. That was Hahn speculation.

And here's where the deal really shows it's potential. Rose's presence is an attention-grabber for free agents this summer. So perhaps it gets you a dinner with Kevin Durant in Los Angeles on July 1, but it likely isn't enough to get him to sign on the dotted line.

How much? What are they saying?

They are saying 2 or 3 million!!

Hard to believe...sure hope they are wrong.

We do have a number of 2s next year, at least 2 of them as far as I know...they could be used in a trade, too.

We have a full $3M to spend that resets on July 1. No reason not to buy a pick for $3M. This is one of the few times our deep pockets come in handy.

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

Shaun Livingston is 182 at 6-7

There's many players in the league that everyone said would need to gain weight to play in the NBA and never really have but are good/great players.

I say keep the money. It's not worth it. I'm not giving these teams my money. If a guy like Whitehead or Dejonte Murray go undrafted then we can just sign then outright

It's not your money. It's Dolan's. And frankly, I say Dolan owes us his cot damn money at this point.

I don't want to talk up Dolan. He's been out of the picture for 2 years and I want to keep it that way

exactly. I love the optimism but durant signing here would be extremely suprising. Not being negative just honest

If we win 45-48 games and make the playoffs and win a round next year THEN we can be in the discussion to add a superstar.

Anyone think he might be older than the record says...was born in the Sudan.

He sounds extremely intelligent and articulate. The guy is ready for the NBA media. Very likeable guy, IMO.

The Spurs are about to draft Dejonte Murray.... that says it all
