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.
