    And bigger raises annually. And I think I read somewhere that there were some other things with waiting out for the new cap figures but I could be wrong.

    No "need" to mock; I'm just having fun. No offense intended.

    Personally, I don't see a huge difference between GP2 and Delon Wright, yet one was first-round pick that was highly coveted by many in here just last year, and the other garners a "Why would you want HIM in the first round?!" response. The dichotomy is a bit comical to me, that's all.

    To each their own.

    I don't deny that he has regressed a little bit but Ibaka is still only 26 years old..

    Ibaka is listed as less than a year older than old man Damian Lillard.

    I'd LOVE to get him. The problem is that I don't think they want Plumlee, and Biebs can't be traded right now. Obviously, we'd be an improved team with Ibaka and Whiteside....

    Younger than I thought for sure. Still think they can only ask for CJ with their huge hole at SG.

    Yeah, they have kanter and adams.

    But would ed davis and a 1st intrigue them? Davis is cheap and does the dirty work like they like.

    Ibaka and Howard.... that would be a niiiiiiiice offseason if Neil could pull it off.

    Ibaka and Monroe would be....... pretty decent.

    My guess? Not even and I love Ed. They go for wing not big in trade. They have plenty of people in house to replace Ibaka.

    I would love Ibaka, but something tells me Cleveland may try to get in a 3way deal with HOU involved.

    Cavs: Serge Ibaka

    Thunder: Kevin Love, Trevor Ariza, and Clint Calela

    Rockets: Enes Kanter

    Would be interesting if we got Bolomboy. But if we get a pick around that range I think it's more likely we go for GP2. I think Bolomboy would make more sense if we still had our pick, not really a swing for the fences kind of guy.

    I would build a statue of neil olshey outside the moda center with my bare hands if he pulled off ibaka and howard.

    Give okc ed davis, cleveland 1st and trade plumlee for a future 1st to give them too if they balk at davis and one 1st.

    Id be ecstatic with a howard or whiteside or horford and ibaka frontcourt. Still would have the option of bringing meyers back for depth (and renouncing harkless) or rolling with aminu at the 4 sometimes, and hoping vonleh matures as a backup big to play some minutes while keeping harkless and renouncing meyers

    Good - Ibaka/Monroe

    Better - Ibaka/Howard

    Best - Ibaka/Horford

    Really?? What team can't use a super athletic guard who can defend. At worst he's a journeyman NBA player. If he ever develops and outside shot he's becomes a pretty good NBA player. IMO his game will look even better at the NBA level where there's more open space.

    Feel like his skills are easily available on every d-league team and if he didn't go to OSU, I doubt he would be mentioned much on this forum.
