Put a lid on the Ibaka or Durant stuff, as far as I'm concerned. If OKC beats a 67-win Spurs team, and a 73-win Warriors team in back-to-back series, everyone's staying put there.

Cuban would never let him go. But just throwing a name out there.

Ibaka can definitely be moved by OKC, he regressed pretty badly this season and OKC is unlikely to sign him after signing Kanter (who they love) and needing to sign Adams.
They're obviously not the type of team to go into the tax too much so unless KD tells them he's leaving I doubt Ibaka is on their 2018 roster.

Without Ibaka, that lineup doesn't work. He can also switch onto guards where Kanter and Adams wouldn't be able to.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

Letter N wrote: View PostFair enough, but don't expect to see OKC giving him the money he wants to stay. Ibaka's numbers are at their lowest point since his rookie year and the money they committed to Kanter is a big factor, and of course there's always the chance that both KD and Westbrook could skip town. Ibaka is not the guy they're planning to re-build their team around and he's also not the guy they want to go into the tax with.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

I've been thinking... Is it realistic to trade Ross + the 9th pick to move up a little in the Draft and guarantee one of Murray or Hield? That way, we could get one of those guys on rookie deals to supplant Ross' shooting, and save that cap space to resign Biz. I don't know if it necessarily works or if anyone would take that offer... But man, I would do that in a heartbeat.

I'd really like to trade Ross and pick up PJ Tucker this offseason
Could you imagine the second unit of Cory Jo, Powell, Tucker, Patterson and Biyombo... holy defense BatmanFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar
