Only proposed at the moment although it will most likely happen

Revision:

New source says it was the 21 and 26 for Aldrich and we keep the 18


For our 18th pick we picked bledsoe and are sending bledsoe to the clippers for a future first round pick

Now OKC bought Pleiss to store in Europe. Presti is awesome!

So we get aldrich, pleiss, and a LAC lotto pick out of this draft so far. HELL YES!

I like it. Aldrich could be a nice fit, and I've always had a soft spot for Mo-Pete. With Miami, Chicago, NJ and NY clearing so much cap, I don't think the Thunder had much of a chance for the top tier of free agents. I wanted them to sign Lee last season, and would still be cool with that. Otherwise, I hope they can pick up Amir for cheap.

You guys a GM who loves finding the gems in drafts.... each year he snaps up my favorite player.

Aldrich @ 11 is a steal for a team that needs some interior presence... thats two great defenders in Aldrich and Ibaka now. And Aldrich is a damned smart player too. Fantastic deal.

There's room on the bandwagon for such an esteemed poster as yourself :D

Good move, now this team only needs a little time... They'll grow together even more, and get better each year, until they reach their max potential (in two, three years). Gotta see how the free agency turns out, but regardless, this team will be a championship contender for many years.

I've started to like the team for its unselfishness this year.
I'll have to start considering myself a fan of OKC.

With Aldrich in hands, the team will be a serious contender in two years of time (now they're already a legit threat).
Sam Presti knows how to get the job done.
