It was the big trade of the night: Serge Ibaka went to the Eastern Conference and the Orlando Magic in exchange for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Illyasova, and the rights to No. 11 pick Domantas Sabonis out of Gonzaga.
I like this trade in the short term for Orlando: Frank Vogel has pieces to work with along the front line in Ibaka, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Vucevic. This could push them into the playoffs in the East (especially if you are a bigger fan of Elfrid Payton than I am).
But this move makes the Oklahoma City Thunder — a team that came within one game of the NBA Finals — better because Oladipo is a massive upgrade over Andre Roberson or Dion Waiters. And there is zero chance this happened without at least the tacit approval of Kevin Durant.
I discuss it all in this latest PBT Extra.
