    I'm not sure "easily doable" and "pry a pick from a rebuilding Minny" should be in the same sentence.

    ESPN Trade Machine lists Ibaka with one year left at $23,000,000.

    So I guess Eric Gordon at $18,000,000 would get it done, hypothetically. If Tilman wants to pay luxury tax for a change. Seems Trump would be more likely to concede the election.

    My dream pickup going into this offseason. Perfect big to play alongside Harden and Russ.

    I have a good feeling about this for some reason lol

    That's not entirely true .... They do have the ability to use the NT-MLE and don't have to trade EG to do it - But they will only have a roster of 14 , with at least one player on a rookie min deal and another on a 1st year minimum which keeps them below the apron level. In that scenario they cannot use the BAE - they'd have to shed salary to do that.

    He would be ideal.

    Harden
    Russ
    Gordon
    House
    Nwaba
    Covington
    Tuck
    Ibaka

    That's a great 8 man rotation.

    In his youth, Ibaka's rim protection bordered on mystical.



    Now at ripe old age of 31 he's just damn good.
