The magical trade deadline date is fast approaching — February 18th — and the window teams have to improve their team will mostly be shut following that, with bought-out veterans as the only resource left.
The Thunder would be a more interesting — albeit decidedly different team — with the much talked about Blake Griffin/Serge Ibaka trade, but a swap consisting of the two big men is unrealistic for a few reasons. Los Angeles relies on Griffin as a secondary ball-handler, as the lineup with Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and three shooters can only get you so far.
