Things will definitely be interesting if OKC does not win a championship this season.

KD must see that the Spurs/Warriors are well positioned in the west for the rest of his prime, and seriously look at the Eastern Conference.Comment

Any teams that missed the playoffs that the Raptors might be able to poach someone for almost nothing in the summer time ?! like a Pau Gasol?!Comment

I thought S&T can only include the player being signed and traded from that team. As in the Ibaka trade would need to be separate. Have you done the cap math to see if it is possible?RepTdot wrote: View PostMy Ultimate Dream Off-Season
Draft: #11- Luwawu, #24- Skal (I have a feeling he drops out the lottery and Masai trades up a for him as a project)
Resign: DeMar, Biyombo, Thompson
Sign: Durant
Trade: OKC accepts defeat and in a sign & trade includes Ibaka for Carroll, Ross & Patterson (OKC gets some talent back and we get cap space)
Let Go: Scola, JJ
PG: Lowry/Joseph/Wright
SG: DeRozan/Powell/Luwuwa
SF: Durant/Powell/Bruno
PF:Ibaka/Thompson/Skal
C: JV/Biyombo/Bebe
That is a 70 win team under the cap (assuming it confirms $90-100mil), if only dreams were this easy in reality as it is on paper. lolComment

I thought Pau has publicly stated his preference for playing the 5? In addition I believe the stats back that up, would have to double check though. Doesn't that make him a bad fit for us and potentially just lead to similar problems that Chicago just experienced?Hotshot wrote: View PostComment

I don't think it's his preference, he is a big and can play the 4 or 5.Oran wrote: View Post
Playing Scola and JV together is a worse fit.Comment

In what world is trading Carroll, Patterson and Ross for Ibaka a good idea?Comment

The suggestion is to trade those three for Ibaka and Durant.92TillInfinity wrote: View PostComment

in this scenario...
Yea OKC is probably getting bounced out the playoffs by either GS or SA before the WCF, let along the nba Finals...I think IF Durant walks away from OKC and does the smart thing and goes East (T.O!!)...either Westbrook decides OKC is now his team and signs an extension and OKC stays the course or he doesn't commit and OKC starts the transition where trading someone like Ibaka for assets (Carroll, Ross, Patterson) & picks (LAC 1st + our 1st) in the S&T with Durant wouldn't be so unrealistic.A.I wrote: View Post

I mean to add Ibaka's salary plus resign DeRozan & Biyombo and sign Durant...gotta sacrifice salary somewhere (aka the bench) and trust in the development of the prospects and the 905 pipeline.FoxMachine wrote: View Post
the world where Durant is attached to it lol throw in a couple picks even if the result was Durant, Ibaka and turning into a true championship contender.92TillInfinity wrote: View PostComment

If DD does not re-sign, would we have enough money for Horford and Bismack?
I don't think AH is worth the max and if he really wants to win, he will accept a 4 yr/60 M$ deal. Bismack would then have to accept de mid-level.

Horford/Patterson/?????
Carroll/Rookie/?????
Powell/Ross/?????
