Thunder trade Ibaka to Magic for Oladipo, Ilyasova, Sabonis

Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Serge Ibaka to the Orlando Magic, sending Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova, and the rights to Domantas Sabonis in return.

Ibaka was reportedly being shopped earlier on Thursday, leading the Toronto Raptors to offer the No. 9 pick in exchange for the 6-foot-10 big man earlier in the night.

The Magic now have a legitimate power forward who can play alongside starting center Nikola Vucevic with the addition of Ibaka.

Oklahoma City adds depth to its frontcourt with Ilyasova and Sabonis and a proven scorer in Oladipo.
