[...] far as Ibaka’s deal goes, according the story we had earlier this week, it looks like a four-year, $4 million deal ($1M [...]

I’m excited. There’s nothing more fun than watching someone that athletic do what they do.

On the other hand, it’s also frustrating to watch them fumble away missed opportunities and make bad basketball decisions.

But nothing is more satisfying than watching a guy improve from month to month over the course of his first year or two in the league.

Welcome Serge, and good luck sir.

Signing Chewie doesn’t necessarily signal an end to Millsap…mainly because I think that sign had already been posted.

It’s only $1 million a year-ish, so that would necessarily alter the cap space enough to make signing anyone else impossible. It just doesn’t seem likely for Presti to go after anyone at this point though.

How do y’all think signing Serge will affect our pursuit of Millsap? I think if Ibaka shows well at the summer leage then there will be no need for Millsap, we will have a decent sized bench, although Ibaka could always go to the d-league.

Awesome! Looks like Presti is high on Serge. I didn’t know he won the dunk contest in Spain. Looks like OKC will have some dunkers in this years Summer League.
I’ll personally be watching Hardin’s outside shooting, RW Asst/turn ratio, DJ White’s emergence as a shooter/rebounder, and if Serge is “ready” for the NBA’s 4′s and 5′s.
Who’s gonna be the scoring leader today for our beloved Thunder.
I say Hardin!
