Thunder Sought Patterson, Powell, No. 9 From Raptors For Ibaka In June 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 15, 2017 12:12 am

The Toronto Raptors held trade talks with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Serge Ibaka last June before he was dealt to the Orlando Magic.


The Thunder asked for Patrick Patterson, Norman Powell and the No. 9 overall pick that became Jakob Poeltl from the Raptors. Oklahoma City instead traded Ibaka to the Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and the pick that became Domantas Sabonis.


Toronto acquired Ibaka on Tuesday from the Magic for Terrence Ross and a late first round pick in this year's draft.


Masai Ujiri has long been interested in acquiring Ibaka.

This report is wrong - i remember at the time of the initial report that okc also wanted Cory Joseph (it wouldn't even work salary cap wise without cojo). And if the deal didn't include cojo than the magic offer with oladipo is still better.
