So, Mr.Charts and Graphs, Zach Lowe pointed this out on one of his pods yesterday, check out this series of transactions.

Magic acquire- Serge Ibaka

Thunder acquire- Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, Domantas Sabonis

.

Pacers acquire- Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis

Thunder acquire- Paul George

.

Clippers acquire- Paul George

Thunder acquire- 5 first round pick (4 unprotected), 2 first round pick swaps and SGA


I’ve chatted a lot of shit about Presti but he turned Ibaka into that Clippers package. That’s incredible.

    Until Westbrook leaves. And those first round picks should mostly all be late round.

    That being said. The string makes them maybe have a good team in 5 years if they draft well.

    The thing with most of those picks is they will be out of the lottery ... which means they may lead to rotation players instead of Stars

    Only way they get stars is to bottom out and win the lottery ... Westbrook swapped w CP3 is the direction that I expect

    Do you really think CP3 Will allow his final years to be spent in Oklahoma City mentoring young guys instead of chasing a ring?

    OKC has no use for Paul. I think the Heat will get Westbrook, but they don’t have much to offer either.

    Of all the teams interested in Westbrick, I like the Heat in this one. Riley gets shit done.

    This isn’t about value for value. It’s Unloading one of the worst contracts in the league to save the owner millions and millions of dollars. Of course they want to get as many assets as possible but Westbrook has negative value. Get money off the books as soon as possible and get some draft picks.

    Chris Paul has a contract almost just as bad, is older, and will get less of a return.

    Right. Just making the point that moving Westbrook is not a basketball move. It’s about mitigating the multiplier penalty on the luxury tax for a mediocre team. Even shaving a year off of that can make a huge difference financially.

    Cp3 is a brutal contract though.

    Fuck the ownership of the Thunder. Hoping Clay Bennett goes full Aubrey McClendon and DIAFF.

    I knew we could find more common ground than just T&A.

    Exactly why NBA in OKC is fucktarded. Imagine if Ballmer had the team in Seattle. He would have kept harden with Westbrook and Durant. And hopefully would have been smart enough to kick Westbrook to the curb and keep Durant when that time came.

    Houston’s going to do everything possible to move CP3 and the contracts match up

    The problem for Miami in a deal is I’m not sure what assets that they have to move in a deal because I don’t expect OKC to want players that they can’t flip for picks and Miami already moved out near term picks to clear room for Butler

    OKC just acquired another first rounder for Grant. Just a crazy amount of draft capital coming down the pipe for them.

    Fair to say i read this fully @Swaye (fuck you, yes it’s Monday, it’s been a long week)....so i agree if that’s the guy who ran himself into an overpass because of karma moving from Seattle. It’s okay to have someone make you drive a Tahoe into a concrete wall, hell yes. If that wasn’t him, thoughts and prayers and can we move my response to some stupid political/religious board this monarchy employs.

    Sam has yet to build shit other than ridding himseld of two of the best players in the nba and locking up the worst to literally the worst contract in the nba sans the guy who’s injured(wall). The billy beans nba rub fest is soooooo old

    Where’s the Tylenol......

    How will okc bottoming out affect the picks they are getting from the clippers??
