With Aldridge possibly leaving...Portland may have to do a short rebuild.

Thunder give : #14 pick , Novak , Waiters , Perry Jones

Portland give : Batum


Westbrook / Augustin
Batum / Morrow
KD / Roberson
Ibaka / Mcgary
Adams / Collison

If you take 23 out of the deal, I think that's an alright deal

Umm...why would OKC do that? Batum is not that good and Perry Jones alone has the potential to be way better than Batum. And you're throwing in waiters and a 1st round pick? LOL OKC would be foolish.

I thought KD loved PJ3 - he has repeatedly said he thinks he's is amongst the best dunkers in the league

Way too little for Batum. Waiters is negative value and Jones is just an end of the bench guy who never developed. You want a 1st too? WTF?

Brooks didn't know how to coach PJ3. I'd let a real coach with a clue have a shot, as he has potential. Remember the 30 points he dropped when both KD and Russ were out???? The potential is there. Batum is what he is. He has no killer instinct even though he has talent. I saw too many 9-7-7 games from him. Dude should be averaging 15.

PJ's days here are done....he barely got a look in last season.

Batum's a great defender, he can make plays... can score....hed be a starter on most teams....with him..we can be a major force on defence without giving up our offensive production.

Portland would trade potentially Batum to OKC for #14 + Adams + filler, assuming all the key Portland FAs bail. Doubt OKC does that trade, though.

The proposed deal in OP is shafting Portland honestly.
