This will make the OKC-Orlando rivalry interesting. He stopped Vic's drive to win them the last meeting and now we will need him to do the reverse. I call him Serge "The Purge" Ibaka

As our current roster stands, he'll be good for us when we play big front courts or when we move him to C when the other team goes small. Basically we need to keep him close to the rim on D as much as possible or it makes no sense.

Nice memory... here's the all too familiar block on dipo:

He's a great player to come off the bench for Nicholson!

This video is basically a microcosm of why we're exactly where we are today.

Oladipo with a bad drive to the rim, swatted away by Ibaka. Tobias juked out by Durant.

Ballgame.

I'm not sure it's great memory since your first post looks exactly from the picture from the game . Funny how that sequence which involved all 3 Thunder stars also happened on the two players we shipped out(Ibaka block on Vic, Russ rebound, Durant 3 on Harris). Can't wait to see the interior D improvements we will have now this season.

Super pumped for Ibaka! Anyone got a photoshop of him in a Magic uni?

Best Post!!!

Ibaka shot 45% from 3 on 3.8 attempts in the playoffs this year.

My favorite was Vooch blocking Durant for the victory 2 years ago!

A defensive frontcourt of AG and Iblaka gives me chills. We needed a shot blocker bad and now we have one. Pairing him next to Vuc is perfect. Seeing what Frank Vogel will do with Serge is exciting!

I wonder how this will affect our free agency? This means we are no longer going all in for Horford with Serge on board. KD is still a pipedream and dont think this will chance much. I do feel we overpaid for him but thats what happens when you stock up on talent and picks. You will find a victor oladipo before discovering another serge ibaka. This is the perfect time to trade for him. A player going into his prime with all that experience from OKC. Great move!

[didak]

I'll be happy if he plays the season out and plays it well and then re-signs. Anything other than that, giving up Oladipo and a lottery pick is just dumb trading.

[Big A All Day]

I'm hype they we finally have a guy who knows how to set a pick!

[Ohhwell8]

Ibaka shot 45% from 3 on 3.8 attempts in the playoffs this year.

33% on 2.4 attempts in the regular season. Let's hope he's closer to where he was in the playoffs.

That man looks way too serious and intense to be on our soft team.
