Better than Roberson, no?


ok is it worth the huge downgrade at PF?

also he's better with the ball. he will be playing a majority off the ball. Much less effective like that. He played bad with Payton. He thrived as the lead guard with the ball.


OKC needed a guy with Roberson's defense and versatility, but can shoot 3s...not a a garbage version of Westbrook. It's just going to be them two taking turns ISO.

I think people are overrating Ibaka to think that this trade isn't a great one for the Thunder. He lost his identity defensively and has no post presence offensively. Adams is a higher-impact player now, making Ibaka more expendable.

People really need to stop gassing Roberson because he looked good for a handful of playoff games. Good defender who gives not much else at all. Oladipo is an upgrade, but his fit with Westbrook is seriously questionable.
