The most immediately relevantnews of the NBA Draft came around the time of the 11th pick: The Oklahoma City Thunder traded Serge Ibaka to the Orlando Magic.Headed back to OKC: A packagecentered around Victor Oladipo and that 11th pick, Domantas Sabonis.Orlando
Philadelphia 76ers Jersey will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said. Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) MORE: At first glance, the deal looks like a win for the Thunder: Ibaka is a big name and was a huge part of OKC's succe s,
Gerald Henderson Jersey but Oladipo is 24, talented andversatile, averaging 16 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 a sists and 1.6 steals last season. You could argue that he was a more
Julius Erving Jersey valuable player straightaway.Plus, they recoup some of the lost size inIlyasova, who's6-10 and was a 10-5 player last season. Sabonis was good enough at Gonzaga to be a first-round pick. It's a
Ben Simmons Jersey serious package, and it frees up more time for Steven Adams and more money to extend Kevin Durant and Ru sell Westbrook.Plus, if Westbrook splits, Oladipo would take OKC at least part of the way to replacing him. For the time being, they'll be in a backcourt together. Not bad.Ibaka, 26, averaged 12.6 ppg
