    He's got plenty of cash in the pocket if not the tank.

    Thabo was their best wing defender...if OKC goes and grabs Gasol too, they will have made some pretty piss poor decisions this off season.

    That is true but he was an absolute zero on offense. If they can get an average wing defender that can give them some semblance of offense then the Thunder just improved their team.

    great on ball defender. can hit the corner 3. good move for the hawks. they're putting together a nice team in the east.

    the rockets options are drying up. it's gonna be lebron/melo or nothing this summer.

    Thabo looked really bad near the end of last season. Maybe a change of scenery will do him some good.

    The Thunder drafted Andre Roberson last year, and drafted some guy from Stanford this year. Both are Sefolosha type of players but younger. They won't miss him.

    There's no reason to think he can't go back to what he did the season before the last. If he does, it's worth. If he doesn't, it's not really a prohibitive contract for the Hawks. They play a really great brand of basketball and Sefolosha could fit in to that vs getting tired of Westbrook and Durant shooting, everyone else watching.

    Their team is shaping up nicely. Now if they can find a C, they're set.

    No they're still the same mediocre Hawks. Happy enough to get to the playoffs but can't do anything when they get there.

    And I'm pretty sure Morey has a multitude of moves he has lined up, but nothing can really happen until the LBJ and Melo dominoes fall.

    I think it would be huge for them...
    Gasol would onky have to offer more than Perkins!

    Thabo hurts them too much offensively

    You have no idea. This was addition by subtraction for OKC. Good for them.
