Why? Is OKC blowing the team up?
I see it as a strange trade of Orlando, though.I'm not a gigantic fan of Ibaka.
He is a FA after next year...OKC must feel they won't be able to keep him if they have to sign Westbrook and Durant.
I really wonder what KD's reaction to that move is... I like Oladipo... but... hmmm...
My thought too. Makes no sense. Possible upgrade over waiters at 2 but ibaka will be missed.
Getting a good vibe for knicks

Chicago's suddenly has a lot of options with good size to play point -- Valentine, Dinwiddie and Grant.
Nice pick by Indy with LeVert. I've been real impressed with their drafting the past few years. LeVert effectively replaces Solomon Hill who won't be back (Bird fucked up here though--should've picked up Hill's additional year on his contract. He didn't and now Indy can only offer him no more than about $2.3mm per cap rules -- he's probably gonna get 3-3.5X that amount now).

I haven't got a clue, right from his 1st pick.

Murray is not NBA ready, if he's only 170 lbs at 6'5
What position did he play in college? Unless he's a PG, he seems extremely undersized at 170.....Which means he's actually 160 plus.....thats very light at 6'5.
Chris Paul is 20 lbs heavier and he's barely 6'0

Indy already traded that pick for Thad Young

Agreed. I don't think Durant comes here no matter what. When it's all said and done I think he stays in OKC. At least on a 1 and 1 to see what Russ does

Some dudes like endless potential and picks. It's easier to keep touting potential than to try to win games. Except sometimes you wind up like Boston or Philly with more picks than roster spots...
At this point, just buy in the second round.

He's light in the azz and he's young. Just like most players in this range, it's a crap shoot.
Knicks have a chance to get some value if they can buy a second rounder. I hope for Gbinije or Whitehead

Why is everyone so negative. NYC is a great city to live in if you're loaded. Team is looking up. Eastern conference has its benefits. And while I think durant is super classy and could easily stay in okc I think Russell is gone and that's weighing on KD mind

Trying to finure out why comparing the Hardaway is funny. OKC traded for Oladipo who is destined to come off the bench playing next to Westbrook. That's Waiters Role....
Hardaway eventually got us Derrick Rose... I guess Phil is the one laughing
