Lame? Everyone and their mother knew that this was gonna happen, there was roughly a .1% chance he'd come over this year. He ever told teams not to draft him in the first round due to buyout issues and the allotment issue, but the Sonics didn't listen. Now go play on the jungle gym with Kidd.

Ibaka stayed in town much longer than I expected. He actually was around on Sunday and attended the Seattle WNBA game that night.
