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.
Ibaka to the Rockets would be a miracle. But miracles have been known to happen from time to time. https://clutchpoints.com/3-ideal-landing-spots-for-serge-ibaka-in-nba-free-agency/
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.
