Serge Ibaka to Toronto

[Arizona_Sting]

Tor: Serge Ibaka
Orl: Terrence Ross, 2017 1st round pick

Nice move for a desperate Toronto team. They needed a PF pretty bad so this should be a good fit.

Orlando basically gave up Oladipo, Ersan, and Sabonis for Ross and a late 1st rounder. Lmao

Yep, a potentially very nice move for the Raptors. I don't think it catches them up to the Cavs, but it means they'll likely be a bigger pain in the ass for them.

Yeah, the only player I thought they could land (realistically) to level them with the Cavs would be trading for Millsap, but Ibaka sure helps.

Instead of Cavs in 5 now Cavs in 6, lol.

Now they need a 3 point specialist.

Excellent trade by Tor. They strengthen a weak spot. Add some rebounding, scoring, and badly needed interior D.

And gives them a lot more D versatility. They have a couple of centers that aren't the quickest on the perimeter.

Yup. Now if the Cavs go down a man in the playoffs (looking at Love) specifically. Things could get interesting.

Korver would be a good fi.... oh, yeah.

Especially Boston can make a move to improve their squad as well.

Yup. Boston and hell, even Washington... these teams may not beat a healthy CLE in a 7 game series but they could challenge them no doubt.

Cleveland had to play real well to beat Wash last week. (and Love/TT had huge games)

 

[CitySushi]

Love this move for Toronto.

One player I would target if I was them would be Omri Casspi. The Kings already have too many wings and Casspi's a free agent after the year and likely gone anyways. Would bring in a nice shooter off the bench for them.

Yup, one thing you can't ignore though is that LeBron is a whole different animal come playoff time... which needs to be factored in.

I was trying to think of some shooters they should target and he was one I was thinking of, along with Covington or Dudley.

I wouldn't move Covington for what Toronto could offer if I'm the 76ers. If I'm the Suns, I might consider moving Dudley. But Dudley has 10.5M average salary for the next 3 years. Kind of a long commitment for the Raps who will have Ibaka, Patterson and Sullinger as FA's next year, with Lowry looming the following year.

Dudley is a good guy. He recently did the Lowe Post podcast.

 

[tducey]

Very good move for the Raptors. Ibaka gives them another option to get points for sure.

If the Wizards can swing a deal for Lou Williams, they would be a serious threat to the Cavs.

Yes, every 3rd game.

 

[wildturkey]

Geez, Orlando is such a mess.

Good move for Toronto but its also by default. Basically any upgrade at PF would be a good move considering how awful that spot has been for them. Ibaka isn't the same player he once was but its still a decent upgrade
