OKC trade Ibaka to Magic for Oladipo, etc

The Oklahoma City Thunder have reached agreement on a trade to send forward Serge Ibaka to the Orlando Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and the draft rights to Domantas Sabonis, league sources told The Vertical.

With his range and shot-blocking, Ibaka became a key member of the Thunder's core alongside Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. He helped Oklahoma City reach the NBA Finals in 2012 and make the Western Conference finals three other years.

Interesting move to trade Ibaka when his stock is down?

I guess they want to show Durant that they will put the right pieces around him for a title so he will re-sign

I love this move for OKC. Not only do they get Oladipo, but Sabonis looks like he could play now and develop into a handy player. Plus they free up cap space.

I agree with the fact that Presti seems to be sending a message to KD and Westbrook that he's prepared to make moves to make the team better.

I doubt it's their last move this off-season either. I wouldn't be surprised if they now move Payne for a four-man.
