The Oklahoman should spend the money and hire a real N.B.A. writer, not a mayberry or baldwin clone. The Thunder fans are magnificient and deserve inspired, credible thought.

Darnell, this is the dream scenario for the Thunder. If you really were running things and managed to pull this off, I think you’d be in the running for GM of the Year.

“11:27 Darnell Mayberry: OK, I’m Sam Presti. I’d sign-and-trade for Chris Bosh. I’d try to low-ball Toronto and just give them future assets. I’d draft two young players, a big and a young scorer, start Ibaka and Bosh next year, bring Green and Nenad off the bench to create a potent second unit with Harden and Maynor. Championship contender here we come.

If the Thunder has a fast breaking-style of offense (and that style is created with its smothering defense, like before), I can see Serge Ibaka as center. But with mainly a half-court offense, Ibaka is too light-weight–unless he packs a lot of muscle-weight (not fat) while still maintaining his quickness and vertical during the off-season (ala Dwight Howard). But if he doesn’t accomplish that, it is better for Ibaka to be a PF.

Have to say i do disagree on one thing. I see Presti aquiring a veteran big through free agency or a trade. Not for big money or long years so it doesnt affect the upcoming extensions but someone who can act as a bridge to Mullens and keep Ibaka at PF short term where he can thrive coming from the weakside to block shots and allow him to continue to get stronger.
