Back with Blake.
Willie did indeed goto the Clips! Maybe being with Blake will get him back to old form!
Im not sure how much I like Willie in LA, but he ll have Blake hopefully to keep him straight.
Now I will bow down to the person who can explain to me what and Who exactly the Thunder drafted or acquired this draft, i lost track early on..

I think the guy they got from Germany Pleiss may be better than Cole Aldrich. I love the trade with the Clips to get a future first rounder for a backup PG in Bledsoe. I think Aldrich is a guy that can play right away. Be a good defender at the post after Kristic leaves since I bet he's gone after this. I think Pleiss is still a project but he can be the answer as a center in a couple years. I wish they would have gotten a solid guard in this draft. I'm not a huge fan of Peterson or the guy we got from Miami. But still a solid draft all around.
So, the Thunder traded:
#18 Eric Bledsoe
#21 Craig Brackins
#26 Quincy Pondexter
#32 Dexter Pittman
#51 Magnum Rolle
Cash Considerations
Got Back:
#11 Cole Aldrich
#31 Tibor Pleiss
#57 Ryan Reid
Daequan Cook
Maurice Peterson
A Future First Round Pick (Clippers)
Cash Considerations
Did I miss anything?
Getting the Clippers 1st round pick next year was key. So you get a guy that can start right away at your weakest position in Aldrich, two NBA vets that can score off the bench and the Clippers #1 pick next year. And a project big foreign center.
Overall, they did very well in addressing needs and building for the future.
If he can somehow become more consistent, play D, and not turn the ball over, the sky's the limit for him.
