We want to move forward and improve defensively, Portland fans seem to want to rebuild, Thunder get really good value in this deal and Golden State needs a defensive big.
Wolves out: Williams, Ridnour, Milicic, Miller, Utah '12 1st, Memhis '13 1st, Minnesota '14 1st
Wolves in: Wallace, Ibaka, Sefolosha, McGuire
Minnesota becomes a stud defensive team with offensive spark-plugs off the bench.
Rubio/Barea
Sefolosha/Webster
Wallace/Beasley/Johnson
Love/Ibaka/Beasley
Pekovic/Ibaka
Blazers out: Wallace
Blazers in: Thompson, Ridnour, Memphis '13 1st (lotto-protected)
If Portland decides to semi-rebuild Thompson and a future pick would be nice pieces, Ridnour also fills a need.
Ridnour/Felton
Matthews/Thompson
Batum/Thompson
Aldridge/Thomas
Camby/Pryzbilla
Thunder out: Ibaka, Sefolosha, Perkins
Thunder in: Williams, Rush, Milicic
Perkins has a large contract, Milicic gives them the same result at a cheaper price. Rush is a Sefolosha type player with perhaps a little bit better shot and Williams and Ibaka is the main swap in this deal. Williams has much more potential and would be devastating as a 4th option. Ibaka is a nice defensive player but is somewhat limited offensively.
Westbrook/Jackson
Harden/Rush/Cook
Durant/Williams/Rush
Williams/Collison
Mohammed/Milicic
Warriors out: Thompson, Rush, McGuire
Warriors in: Perkins, Utah '12 1st (lotto-protected), Minnesota '14 1st (lotto-protected)
Warriors get their defensive big and pick up a couple firsts in the process.
Curry/Robinson
Ellis/
Wright/
Lee/Udoh
Perkins/Biedrins

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt

Re: MN/POR/OKC/GS
I think it's solid for everyone, but I bet that OKC declines. Perk isn't very good, but Ibaka is basically what makes their defense go. They'd be really bad defensively after this.

I guess I don't see that.
Rush has a better PER than Sefolosha
Milicic has a better PER than Perkins
Williams' PER is 15.1 Ibaka's is 17.2. Not a huge difference.
