Id like to know who Presti is going to draft with the pick hed receive for Ibaka, then just draft that player instead. We all know Presti is the bees knees drafter.

I would really like Ibaka on this team. The only problem is what do we have that OKC would want? Bev? Ariza? Beasley? Along with that, why on earth would Sam Presti EVER trade with Morey again?
Presti knows KD is staying and he plans to max both KD & WB in 2017. May as well get something for Serge now since they can't pay him also next summer.
Who are the Thunder going to replace him with? Ibaka had some key production for them, and they were so close to the championship. I think this move will swing KD's decision to leave.
I guess that's the player they'd be trading for? Or maybe they think they'll sign somebody with that money and then re-sign Durant? Idk that move isn't making sense to me
no lie he'd be the 2nd best shooter last season. but knowing this team his numbersw ill drop just cuz
That he can shoot is just the frosting. Ibaka is a perennial All-D first team and league leader in blocks. Would not just complement Harden but D-Mo as well. It would be pretty funny if Morey just kept recruiting former Thunder players until he has them all: Harden, Ibaka, Durant, Westbrook
