OT: Thunder/Magic trade suggestion

[Rastapopoulos]

Check it out.

Essentially: Westbrook, Ibaka and Perkins for Dwight Howard. If the Magic decide that Howard is out the door, who could offer them a better deal? Certainly not the Lakers. Now, the Thunder would be taking a risk that he'd stay with them, but the team would instantly be America's Favorite Alternative to the Evil Heat, and Collison, Maynor and Harden round out the starters. More shots for Harden (who was practically OKC's MVP in the playoffs) and Durant and an actual PG in Maynor rather than a gunner-with-poor-floor-vision and OKC is suddenly undefendable.

i hope all of those players drop dead, except howard, i kinda like him

seems fair though magic would have westbrook/jameer/arenas at the pg, maybe westbrook to sg

Seems like a great deal for both parties but I would hate to see Dwight Howard in our division and I don't see him signing an extension with OKC. He seems like a guy who would want to go to big market team.

 

[Minstrel]

That's a very nice deal for both sides, if Orlando does not believe Howard will re-sign. The Thunder consolidate several assets into one major superstar who should fit well with Durant. Orlando gets a number of good players for someone who's going to leave anyway and one of them--Westbrook--is a young star.

This is a great deal, even better when Howard leaves for New Jersey, leaving OK less than Ok!

I'd rather see DWight with OKC then with the lakers.

This is a great deal, even better when Howard leaves for New Jersey, leaving OK less than Ok!

oooh yes please

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm assuming that if there is one player in the entire league who will have the Amnesty rule applied to him, it will be Gilbert Arenas.

Good luck convincing Dwight to want to live in OKC. I don't think some people realize just how small that 'city' is. They'd REALLY have to sell Dwight on the chances of a dynasty with KD.

if they made a trade like this, im sure it wouldnt be completed without dwight signing an extension
