Thunder thinking trade for title run

[All Net]

"@WojYahooNBA: Armed with trade exceptions, OKC has been active in search for a shooter to fortify them for title run, league sources tell Yahoo."

[NumberSix]

InB4 these rednecks trade Ibaka for Korver.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Pretty sure you don't trade TPE's. Which do the Thunder have anyhow?

[Im so nba'd out]

spencer hawes :confusedshrug:

[IncarceratedBob]

They'll add Afflalo and a big like Gortat.

Westbrook
Afflalo
Durant
Ibaka
Gortat

[rhythmic]

Take Nash, Pau & Meeks from LA.
We'll take back just expiring contracts (preferably bench warmers), trade exceptions and 2nd round picks.

Jones III+6.5 million TPE+Dallas 1st+2014 OKC 1st for Afflalo

There might be more to it than just a "scrub", Jones isn't a scrub, he is a good young prospect, him and 2 1sts is not bad, the Magic save some money too.

[Olacinco]

I wouldn't give up afflalo for lamb/Jackson/and 5 future first round picks..

No way gunna let these fan boys jizz to afflalo on a nightly basis

[AnaheimLakers24]

fisher for nash please

[Joyner82reload]

If the Thunder do indeed get Afflalo, the next 2 ships are guaranteed to be going to OKC as long as Westbrook is healthy. That lineup would be truly stacked :lol

[Black and White]

I wouldn't give up afflalo for lamb/Jackson/and 5 future first round picks..

No way gunna let these fan boys jizz to afflalo on a nightly basis

Then you are an idiot, 5 future 1st picks????? Lamb and Jackson???

Thats an instant win for Orlando and too much to give up for Afflalo

[Joyner82reload]

I wouldn't give up afflalo for lamb/Jackson/and 5 future first round picks..

No way gunna let these fan boys jizz to afflalo on a nightly basis

Lamb+Jackson+5 future 1sts would net anyone in the league outside of the top 10 players

[kurple]

you cant combine TE's with players

[Kingwillball]

I would be Shocked if Heat don't add another Wing 2/3 guy. Wade is too Fragile and you can't have Tony Douglas in your Playoff rotation.

[Jameerthefear]

I wouldn't give up afflalo for lamb/Jackson/and 5 future first round picks..

Got to give him up somehow.

[Olacinco]

Etwan Moore > Jackson.. Givin the playing time

Lamb = scrub

5 picks = useless with afflalo on ur team

[HomieWeMajor]

Thunder should try and get Big Baby as part of any deal. He could be the low post scorer they need.

[Milbuck]

I wouldn't give up afflalo for lamb/Jackson/and 5 future first round picks..

[Jameerthefear]

I actually think the bolded is true. Lamb is young I think his peak is a Kevin Martin type player, two picks is hard to sniff at. It would be a late 1st and a mid first. That would mean we have 4 picks in the upcoming draft

[Olacinco]

And that's why a dumbass like you isn't a GM in the NBA.

And that's why Gianni's dick tore up your assholee u fakkit

Nope, they still have Perkins at center.
Gortac, Gasol or even Kaman and it's over people...it's over.

[Joyner82reload]

I think Reggie has great potential and wouldn't move him if I could help it.

I think Lamb has far more potential. Jackson's peak is 18/5/4 on shit efficiency.

[Milbuck]

Sefolosha, PJ3, Perkins for CJ Miles, Varejao and a pick

Perkins for Joel Anthony. Who says no?

[Jameerthefear]

Sefolosha, PJ3, Perkins for CJ Miles, Varejao and a pick

Who says no?
cleveland says no

[chocolatethunder]

Even a Jarrett Jack could bolster their bench.

Why is it necessary to put "a" before his name? Are you doing this to try and make yourself sound smart?

[Olacinco]

Sefolosha and Perkins are basically jameer and big baby except jameer was never a scrub

No1 touching them

[Milbuck]

Why is it necessary to put "a" before his name? Are you doing this to try and make yourself sound smart?
He put "a" because he's not exclusively mentioning Jarrett Jack, but Jarrett Jack and every player/shooter of his caliber.

[juju151111]

They don't really need shooters. They need a freaking Center.

Jeremy Lamb + Filler FOR Kyle Korver?
I would love to have Kyle Korver on our team. That guy can flat out shoot. He might be a liability on defense, but whatever. I don't think I would give up Lamb for him though.

[Embers]

Shooters? Id like to think they are set with the guard rotations Westbrook/Jackson, Sefolosha/Lamb. They could get a bloke like Jarrett Jack but I dont see him as a better 6th man option then Jackson atm.

They have to use the Eric Maynor trade exception right away. Id be on the search for a SF who can hit a 3. Id love Martell Webster but accept Steve Novak as a pure last resort case.

Would think Thabeet + pick for Webster could work. Otherwise Thabeet straight swap for Novak could work too

[ballup]

I think this would be a small trade. Probably for someone like Anthony Morrow.

[Uncle Drew]

What's the problem?

You're the problem. Reported.

[PleezeBelieve]

Thunder should have traded for Varejao two years ago. They'd at least have one ring by now

[PleezeBelieve]

Varejao + Jack +'15 Miami # 1 for Thao + Steve Adams

[I<3NBA]

Thunder does not need a shooter. they need a post player.

[dannywpt]

Perkins for Horford and Korver straight up

[JohnFreeman]

Sam Presti trying to call other teams, but there is no electricity.

[Fiasco]

Perkins for Horford and Korver straight up

Almost as bad as Lakers fan trades.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

Varejao + Jack +'15 Miami # 1 for Thao + Steve Adams

Pb u want come & suck my c0ck? U pathetic bastard

[MVBallin2K]

Nash+Meeks for Perkins + Fisher

Perkins contributes as much as Nash does when he sits out minus a game here or there. Nash gets a chance to win a ring and Meeks gives them the shooter they want.

Fisher retires a Laker, Perkins can be cut or sit for virtually the same time Nash has on his contract.

No real way via trade machine to get Gasol on the team since Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook's contracts are too much.

[SilkkTheShocker]

The Thunder aren't winning sh/it

[KG215]

Westbrook for Brooke Lopez/deron?

Who says no? :confusedshrug:
:oldlol:

Brook Lopez is out for the season dumbass.

[Joyner82reload]

Nash+Meeks for Perkins + Fisher

Perkins contributes as much as Nash does when he sits out minus a game here or there. Nash gets a chance to win a ring and Meeks gives them the shooter they want.

Fisher retires a Laker, Perkins can be cut or sit for virtually the same time Nash has on his contract.

No real way via trade machine to get Gasol on the team since Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook's contracts are too much.

As much as I hate to admit it, Perkins actually does play a role for OKC in the WC playoffs. He is useful vs Portland and Houston, 2 teams OKC could potentially play in the playoffs. And he would be very useful vs Hibbert if Indiana beats Miami.

[andremiller07]

Carl Landry for anything other than Perkins

[Twiens]

Thunder interested in Rudy Fernandez, would be a good fit off the bench.

[NumberSix]

2014 Thunders = 2nd round K.O.

[$LakerGold]

I would love to have Kyle Korver on our team. That guy can flat out shoot. He might be a liability on defense, but whatever. I don't think I would give up Lamb for him though.

Every dream of winning a ring all started with taking a risk. This is it. Unless you can mix it up and move players around. I don't really know Horford's true value, but if Perkins + Lamb + Filler for Korver & Al Horford, that'd be great if the Hawks are trying to rebuild. We all know that this could be KD's last run with the OKC, 2 or 3 years left? There's no room/time for developing young players for this OKC team, unless they can at least somewhat touch on Lamb's 60%-70% of his potential, or maybe even 75%-80%. I've been saying this before, their frontcourt needs height or a rebounder like Varejao.

AND FOR THE LAST TIME - GET RID OF PERKINS!!!!

I would do this trade in a heartbeat. Too bad Horford is out for the season.

[O_City_Thunder]

Mozgov and Wilson Chandler for Perkins, Perry Jones, 2 1sts

Westbrook | Jackon
Sefalosha | Lamb
Durant | Chandler
Ibaka | Collison
Mozgov | Perkins | Adams

:bowdown:
I would start Chandler at the 2

[KG215]

I would do this trade in a heartbeat. Too bad Horford is out for the season.
:oldlol:

And I'd still do it because Horford is under contract through 2016. I know there's no way in hell that trade happens (Can it even happen? Can injured layers be traded?) but I'd gladly take half a season of Horford in street clothes and Kyle Korver if it meant getting rid of Perkins.

[sfballa13]

Get KD his ring:

Monroe, Stuckey, Datome

for

Adams, Perkins, Lamb

Then PJIII + TPE + picks for Hawes

Westbrook / Jackson
Stuckey / Thabo
Durant / Datome
Ibaka / Collison
Monroe / Hawes + Thabeet

Yeh they give up Lamb and Adams but they get back Stuckey and Monroe two starters that help them get over the hump and beat Miami / Indiana. And to add a cherry on top they dump Perkins in the process and grab Singler who is a great glue guy off the bench. Hawes and Monroe would dominate.

[O_City_Thunder]

As much as I hate Perkins....I honestly believe we need him. Deep down, I think you might believe it too.

[$LakerGold]

As much as I hate Perkins....I honestly believe we need him. Deep down, I think you might believe it too.
Honestly, he can be a solid backup. But as far as being a start, nada.

I'm sorry, I forgot or I didn't know that Al Horford got injured (I think I forgot lol). I honestly don't know the player salaries right now, I'm too lazy to go to BR & check it out. But, it would be great for them to get a guy like a 7'0 rebounder, defensive minded & a stretch 4.

In my opinion, they need to go after these players:
Anderson Varejao (85%)
Asik (Through out time, I see guys like Varejao more effective to this OKC team more than Asik. 60%)
Kyle Korver (90%)
Glen Davis (40%)
Al Horford (70%)
Mo Williams (I'm sure he'll take a paycut and backup Westbrook. 80%)
Battier (Maybe, age will catch up to him and we'll be suffering from severe injuries. So, 50%)
Barg (50%)

So, if they can get Varejao, Korver, & Al Horford. I truly believe that they can win it in the near future.

1 - Westbrook | Mo Williams
2 - Korver | ????
3 - Kevin Durant | Battier
4 - Ibaka | Glen Davis Or Al Horford | Glen Davis
5 - Varejao Or Asik | Perkins

*If Bargnani is available, why not? Then move Horford to 5 and don't get Asik & Glen Davis.

1 - Westbrook | Mo Williams
2 - Korver | ????
3 - Kevin Durant | Battier
4 - Ibaka | Bargnani
5 - Horford| Varejao Or Perkins
==============================

YES. I need to go to sleep and dream about this lineup. :lol

OKC won't get anywhere with Ryan Gomes backing up KD & having rookies as their backup. lol

[JohnFreeman]

Perkins is a solid defender.

[Trollsmasher]

Shooter that will be left with 4 shots per game once Durchuck and GOATbrook are done chucking:lol

If those idiots tried to get a center instead...

[JohnFreeman]

I thought Durant would have asked Presti to bring Beasley for minimum

[knicksman]

Sam Presti trying to call other teams, but there is no electricity.


So corny brah. I guess its true low IQ=corny jokes:lol

[blacknapalm]

unless they get a redick, korver or parsons, this trade really won't be much of an upgrade. it's not their biggest need imo and you need to go elite, but not one dimensional if shooter is in mind. if they can get rid of perkins, keep lamb and not give up any 1st round draft picks...any of those three would be a steal. i don't see LA or houston playing ball, but who knows about atlanta. korver on that OKC team could be menacing.

[retaxis]

Honestly, he can be a solid backup. But as far as being a start, nada.

I'm sorry, I forgot or I didn't know that Al Horford got injured (I think I forgot lol). I honestly don't know the player salaries right now, I'm too lazy to go to BR & check it out. But, it would be great for them to get a guy like a 7'0 rebounder, defensive minded & a stretch 4.

You didn't consider the salary equation did you:coleman:

Maybe you should find out how much Varejao, Horford, Barg, Korver cost before they magically appear on your starting line up.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

If they get Afflalo and Westbrook comes back 100%, it's game over.

no because westbrook ruins durants game. you will see less durant, and more westbrook.

[MichaelCorleone]

ffs are they not stacked enough.:facepalm

[imdaman99]

As much as I hate Perkins....I honestly believe we need him. Deep down, I think you might believe it too.
This.

Perkins sucks, but he is the anti-Ibaka. Ibaka can't guard anyone 1 on 1 but he is a great help defender. Perkins is a very good defender, honestly I remember him covering Dirk a lot better than Ibaka did. And the teammates like him, so keep him.

[Bigsmoke]

they might get a no name at the end of all that.:oldlol:

[pegasus]

Unless they trade him and other pieces for Asik, they should just keep Perkins. He will be needed all throughout the playoffs and perhaps in the Finals too.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

InB4 these rednecks trade Ibaka for Korver.
in before u become a thunder fan.

[r15mohd]

they dont need another shooter...there has to be directives from Brooks to give Durant the ball more and have Westbrook feed off that. if Westbrook goes into the agressor and Durant becomes the 2nd option, OKC faulters once again.

[wally_world]

These Magic fans must have gone berserk for losing season after season :lol

[DMAVS41]

I think Reggie has great potential and wouldn't move him if I could help it.

Yea, it doesn't need to be complicated at all.

Afflalo for Jones, Thabo, and the first round Dallas pick (maybe throw in Roberson)...would be a great deal for both teams.

If Presti doesn't do something like this...it's a huge mistake. With Afflalo...they could actually still win the title without WB...would be much harder, but possible.

Right now I just don't think they can win it all without WB...and if they had WB and Affllao...they are the clear favorites

[mistergreens]

[DMAVS41]

We would probably have to give up Lamb to get Afflalo. With that being said, would you give Lamb up for Afflalo and his contract?

That is too much in my opinion. I don't see how Afflalo is worth Thabo's expiring contract, Lamb, and the Dallas pick.

But I like Lamb a lot...he's perfect for them.

I guess I just don't see how Afflalo is worth more than an expiring contract, good young player like Jones, and a first round pick.

Lamb is already playing 22 minutes a game for the Thunder...and I think that is just too much to give up.

I'd do Lamb and Thabo and no pick for Afflalo though...
