Sure if you squint your eyes real hard... there's no guarantee he stays. Major risk and they bled a lot of talent. He gambled and in a year we will know if it was worth it.
And here's the thing with that Ibaka deal - I don't even think he's a good fit in Orlando. The Thunder get another rugged big, an underrated stretch for and a great, young defender/athlete at the 2.
I feel like OKC trading for Oladipo is a sign that they don't think that they can keep Westbrook. And I don't see any way that Durant stays in OKC without Westbrook.
