    Ibaka also was recovering from an injury from last year, so that combined with less prominent role in the offense could probably be attributed to everyone thinking he wasn't as good.

    But you can't deny that Ibaka allowed OKC to do some special things on defense, and he was always present when people drove in the lane. I thought he was fantastic against Golden State, and while the numbers don't do him justice against SA, he altered a lot of shots just with his presence. That's gone now.

    If you want an idea of what I mean, watch the first two games of the 2014 Western Conference a Finals when SA absolutely shredded OKC. I get they have Adams now, but Adams is not the terror that Serge is on defense.
    Fair point about the injury, that is definitely a factor for his decline last year. And yeah, he is a springy athlete when healthy, and a very good defensive player in that case. His defensive numbers were really down last year, especially in regards to blocks.

    I do think overall that OKC improved with the trade. Though they definitely could struggle defensively now like you suggest. Especially since Ilyasova who will presumably start at PF doesn't even care about defense. Even if he did, he could not hold Ibaka's jock in that regard. Can Sabonis continue to improve his shot? If he can then I think he gets some solid minutes at the PF spot. I don't think McGary will amount to anything.

    the raptors arent willing to take advantage of dumb franchises honestly. I absolutely would be down to sign and trade demar derozan for oladipo, ilyasova and sabonis tho. demar is more valuablr then ibaka at this point right?

    The international pool for draft prospects was deeper this year and the american pool was really weak. Pretty simple explanation, but also have to keep in mind that the international players aren't as likely to pan out as the US born players. International scouting in basketball seems very hard with all the busts and "high upside" guys out there.

    Hawks are still gonna be good without Teague and they get to keep Horford more then likely. I'd be happy with the trade tbh.

    Taurean Prince and Deandre Bembry look like they could be decent players.
