This doesn’t make sense unless part of another package. This asset on its own is not worth taking on a corpse multi year contract.
Is this the 3rd time the rights to Alpha Kaba have been ping ponged between these 2 teams?? I've seen that name before.
BBH hit on this part: Cody Zeller Like Oladipo, his teammate, great work ethic and great talent, loves the game, dedicated, and extremely smart. He's underrated. I think he makes the transition to PF and plays a role as a PF/C for the next 5-10 years successfully. Probable All-Star and may become a superstar. He did not however, hit on the statistical probability of flipping a coin 100 times.
So we are keeping Jeff Green, Jock and Steveo? Jock can be banked for a trade in the offseason. Likely Jeff Green wasn’t worth a 2nd. If Steveo plays well the rest of the season that would be great but I probably would have rather recouped some value if he’s not getting extended. I’m glad we got two 2nd rounders out of the deadline, but was hoping for some improvement on the margins. Oh well.
This is the 5th year of Stone's tenure and the rebuild. It's the same timeframe for when OKC started tanking after jettisoning CP3.

GMs who don't suck generally get their teams on track by year 5.
Free Birds (a lesser known) and a possible reinforcement with our back up C's playing under expectations. CZ will be productive IF he's around in the next few days, 'Still anticipating a later-announced next step from this. Ime isn't just satisfied with making the first round.
