Yeah Ibaka isn’t yet but if Harden is then one of them will likely have to take less money if both are going to stay. Amnestying Perkings makes sense to clear the cap but I find it hard to imagine that happening. The crazy thought that I wrote here is dealing Harden after this season for multiple lottery picks is something the Thunder could probably do and get decent value back.

At the same time the Thunder probably feel like they can ride this core for one more season and maybe win a title or two so why would they do anything that drastic yet?

I agree that Ibaka is not a max deal player.

Ibaka is not a max deal player. I still have hope that with Nazr, Fisher coming off the books, plus amnesty on Perkins, Thunder will be able to afford both.
