Dion Waiters trade incoming?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

A potential KD/Russ/Oladipo trio?

KD is probably going to Golden State

Atlanta will select Taurean Prince of Baylor at No. 12, league source tells @TheVertical

 

[Tom Penny]

I don't even like Oladipo. He's 5X the backup PG the Thunder have.

 

[jbug617]

Minnesota last yr picked #1 and now a better team than the C's.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Damn that's a lot for ibaka

They know Durant gone, they getting the young core in rebuilding mode

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Trading Serge was a good move by OKC. Did you guys miss the WCF where Adams and KD at the 4 dominated and almost beat the Warriors? Serge became redundant. Might as well cash in on his value while you can, and they did a good job of it. Got a solid backcourt player in Oladipo and a lottery pick for the last year of Ibaka's contract. This probably makes it more likely KD would stay, if anything.

Yup

 

[Bread]

Damn what a crazy night.

Love the draft

Prince…

Sigh.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Durant is gone

You think he will follow Ibaka?

Chicago tanking. Isn't Noah a free agent also?

 

[BlackGhost]

Let the tomfoolery begin

 

[msdstc]

Minnesota last yr picked #1 and now a better team than the C's.

C's should've kept the tank one more year, but etc wanted the money.

 

[darkside31337]

Wow. I like the deal.

Not even an Ibaka fan but Dipo is just not any good.

Will miss Sabonis though, think the guy is going to be a good pro. Thought he was gonna be on Orlando for all of 2 minutes

Wolves gonna be so nice

 

[NervousXtian]

Don't see how KD leaves, that trade on paper doesn't make the thunder team worst.

On paper, they just got better IMHO.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

How does this mean that KD is gone? Thunder are now a better team...

 

[ViciousDS]

Fire Gar and Pax now......how the fuck do you give up butler.


Watch it be for Lavine, the pick and Rubio lol

 

[Rainy]

He's potentially a solid rotation big. Solid player who can score/shoot a little, probably athletic enough to play versatile but not shut down defense, but he's also almost as old as Harrison Barnes, so there's not much ceiling there.

Thanks, honestly hope they take someone else then.

 

[jman2050]

No Orlando what are you doing?

What are you doing?

 

[Hueytothe]

C's should've kept the tank one more year, but etc wanted the money.

We're still tanking though
Brooklyn's pick next year for sure is gonna net us a Simmons/Ingram

Fucking Yes!

 

[Tom Penny]

On top of that we don't get Butler and they will challenge Nets for worst team in the league.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Fire Gar and Pax now......how the fuck do you give up butler.

What do you want with a 26 year old on a max contract with questionable knees who will probably peak by 30 when you are blowing it up and rebuilding?

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Oladipo, KD, Westbrook,
Going to be fun to watch

 

[Jarate]

FAKE SORRY

 

[JABEE]

Why can't the NBA just allow trades to be official before the draft? Is it a cap thing? The system is too complicated to keep track of on the draft floor?

 

[Eleuin]

They did it

 

[Sanjuro]

I don't think tanking in the NBA gets you a better GM.

 

[darkside31337]

How does this mean that KD is gone? Thunder are now a better team...

Because of Oladipo? lolllllllll


I don't think it means anything either way but Dipo is not going to make him more likely to say.

The Celtics easily could've swung this... seems the rumor is true that Danny wouldn't deal Crowder.

 

[Jarate]

IT WAS A FAKE, SORRY FAKE WOJ

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think I would have liked Prince over Sabonis for the Thunder. He could have bene like Roberson but with a better jumper. Imagine how scary the Thunder from the WCF would have been if Roberson could shoot!?!

 

[spyder_ur]

Man I do not like that trade for OKC even if I like Sabonis as a player. I'm not as a big fan of Oladipo though; I'm not sure he fits very well next to Westbrook.

 

[darkwing-buck]

How does this mean that KD is gone? Thunder are now a better team...

Yeah they just got deeper IMO

 

[Gully State]

Trading Serge was a good move by OKC. Did you guys miss the WCF where Adams and KD at the 4 dominated and almost beat the Warriors? Serge became redundant.

This probably makes it more likely KD would stay, if anything.

I get the impression that Ibaka was underutilized in OKC. Could've been a solid pick and pop option.

 

[LyleLanley]

FAKE SORRY

lol, NFLBestOfs. I tried to warn you!

 

[qcf x2]

Yi busting hard made me appreciate how mentally tough Yao was. Yi had all the tools physically to be really good in this league.

Yeah he did. His statline wasn't half bad either, he just played too much like it was college basketball or, I guess, the Chinese league. If he had the fire he would've been an All Star imo.

I'm doing a reverse on that Thunder comment. Da fuck are the Magic doing

 

[Gigglepoo]

I don't even like Oladipo. He's 5X the backup PG the Thunder have.

Isn't Payne supposed to be pretty good? Seems like OKC win that trade, though.

 

[Brinbe]

Prince is a solid pick

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Prince…

I don't think that's a bad thing

[mjp2417]

How is Oladipo's defense?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I don't think it means anything either way but Dipo is not going to make him more likely to say.

I'm just saying that deal is not 'oh KD is 100% gone' type deal imo.
