Niiiice, this can be Mission #3 for this summer! We can be set for the next decade with potential and talent like this! :grin:
We only like undersized big men. In the alternative, if the big men have the correct measurements to play center, we like them either old or unmotivated. Seriously, this is freaking depressing. Look at how far along the Thunder and the Grizzlies are ahead of us in the big men department.
I DONT THINK YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT AS LONG AS MOREY IS A GM WE WILL NEVER HAVE A SUPERSTAR OR A GREAT DRAFT-E....WHY?BECAUSE WE TRADE ALL THE GOOD ONES AWAY. STARTING WITH PRYZBILA DRAFTED BY THE ROCKETS THAT HIS RIGHTS WERE TRADED TO PORTLAND FOR A CAN OF PRINGLES. RUDY GAY! AWESOME PLAYER BUT OF COURSE IF YOUR GREAT THE ROCKETS WILL GIE YOU UP, TRADED TO THE GRIZZLIES FOR BATTIER(SORRY PLAYER) AND CHEW TOYS. THE YEAR AFTER WE DRAFT BATUM AND TRADE HIM AWAY TO PORTLAND FOR A PACK OF GUM AND A DILDOE SO MOREY CAN F*** HIMSELF WITH IT. IT'S A TREND DO YOU GUYS REALIZE HOW GOOD OF A TEAM WE WOULD HAVE IF WE WOULD OF KEPT ATLEAST 2 OF THESE PLAYERS? I DONT CARE IF TMAC WAS HERE IN THE RUDY GAY DRAFT ERA I STILL WOULD OF KEPT HIM. SAME WITH BATUM. COULD OF BEEN OUR STARTING 5 C-YAO F-SCOLA F-BATUM G-GAY G-LOWRY W.T.F. TEAM YOU F***** US ONCE AGAIN, I JUST HOPE MOREY TAKES NOTES FROM CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS THIS YEAR AND KEEPS WHAT HE DRAFTED UNLESS YOU TRADE THE PICKS FOR A D.HOWARD, J.SMITH, CP3, etc. PLEASE!PLEASE!PLEASE! LETS DO THE RIGHT THING AND TRY TO WIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE ARE IN A REBUILDING MODE. YOU TAKE WHAT YOU GET AND RIDE IT OUT. STOP THE BS MOREY, YOUR PISSING ME OFF W/YOUR BASKETBALL NO IQ A**. GET ER DONE OR GET THE HELL OUT MORON.
I really dont think Ibaka is as 'untouchable' as you would think. OKC has zero post presence on offence, and if it burns them in the secound round (i think they match up with the lakers) a Scola-based pacakge could prove to be valuable. Oh, and next to pat pat or chuck - i think serge is an passable NBA center
lol... WOW, Morey wasnt even the GM for the first 2 trades you mentioned...and the Batum trade got us Artest and gave us the best team in the league on paper and our first playoff series win in a long time(almost knockd off the lakers w/out our 2 best players), that team was stackd... You could not be farther off....
Just because you wrote in caps doesn't make you less of an idiot. first and foremost Morey wasn't Gm for two of the trades you mentioned and the other ones were done for winning now purposes not rebuilding. Batum was taken so we could trade with portland. Which was used to acquire Ron Ron and that deal was a pretty good one at the time.
Spoiler Anyways, as it relates to the trade proposal: given Ibaka's talent and low salary, there is literally nothing we could offer for him that Presti wouldn't laugh and hang up immediately. If you actually believe in this trade being something to look at, can you give me an actual possible trade? It's not easy to trade for a player of Ibaka's talent on a rookie contract. It's even tougher when Durant is the Thunder's only player who's paid like a star.
Yeah but the Rockets had the option of Dream or Jordan..... They never had the option of picking Ibaka. BTW... Dream better than Jordan..... I'm just saying.
News flash..... Rockets did not pass on Ibaka. He was gone before the 25th pick. Oh what the hell, I'll play this silly little game. Fun fact: The Rockets passed on Derrick Rose in that same draft! Damn the organization!
This thread is embarassing. The Thunder are not trading their 21 year old player on a rookie scale for someone that is 31 on the beginning of their big payday.
It's not going to happen guys. The Thunder giving up Serge Ibaka would be like the Rockets giving up Carl Landry. Wait..
Yeah... how about you're really dumb. You can't say not selecting someone who was OFF THE BOARD when you picked is passing on someone. And Hakeem Olajuwon was a better basketball player than Jordan.
Serge Zwikker is the original, all the rest are imitators. When you've had the prototype, why get the wannabe?
