trade Ibaka, Harden and Perkins for D HOWARD today!!!! Why? The Thunder needs their big three to combat Miami's and this trade will all but ensure that Phil is your next coach which translates into championships.... He said as much on his HBO interview and we all know that Phil goes nowhere without a few superstars in place.. Orlando does this because they get value for Howard in the 6th man of the year Harden who can instantly start. Ibaka who's a big strong young shot blocker who has an offensive game on the rise plus they get a tough nosed center in Perkins... Howard in the paint for OKC will keep Lebron from running elbows out bull running layups, further Howard will keep them off the offensive boards which killed OKC in the finals. Howard also bring an offensive game and allstar status which keeps the whistles less lopsided. He'd also all but take Bosh out of the game... Further this is Howards best chance at winning a ring while he's still in his prime! The NBA like this deal because the finals will be very competitive and that means people tune in which should make Stern jump up and dance! It's a good deal all around!
