Why in the **** would a team in their position make this trade? I'm pissed for Orlando fans.

I'm pretty excited about the lineup of WB, VO, Roberson, KD and Adams come playoff time. Well, as long as he stays.......

Seriously WTF is Orlando thinking? It may not be as good for the Thunder as I think but it does them zero good. Ibaka on a team where he's a focus? LOLZ.

Ibaka is frustrating because of his physical tools, but he was also key to the defense OKC was able to use to frustrate the Warriors.

This is an interesting move because it helps out OKC from a salary perspective, because they can waive Ilyasova and save $8 million next year, but Oladipo was a primary option on a bad team and still couldn't score more than 16 a game; although he's a good defender, he's not exceptional. Unless his game takes a significant leap forward, OKC probably isn't as good on paper next year, although Sabonis the Lesser is an interesting pick for the future.
