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

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.

PER is not meant to be a player comparison tool.
