Serge Ibaka had been sending signals he might leave the Oklahoma City Thunder in free agency in 2017 over the past year, according to sources. Ibaka also was beginning to grow tired with his lack of touches on offense.
The Thunder dealt Ibaka on draft night to the Orlando Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and Domantas Sabonis.
Oklahoma City made the trade also knowing Kevin Durant was fine with Ibaka being traded, according to sources.
