3 Way Deal. All about what each team needs.

Thunder get: Terrence Ross (TOR) and CJ Watson (IND)

Pacers get: Reggie Jackson (OKC) and Tyler Hansbrough (TOR)

Raptors get: Jeremy Lamb (OKC) and Louis Scola (IND)

Thunder finally get a legitimate backup for Durant and provide better depth to the team. Jeremy Lamb is just wasting away on the bench. Plus, Ross is under contract for another year after this one and expires along with Waiters which gives financial flexibility in the summer of KD. Watson would be a great backup option for Westbrook.

Pacers get a starting caliber point to pair with George Hill in the back court. He can be resigned in the summer or retained by matching any offer sheet. They also get Psycho T who is familiar with the organization. If these two pickups don't work out, they aren't committing any money past this year. But this is just the splash that could help them make a playoff push in the East if George ends up playing this year.

Raptors could make a Finals in the East this season. Adding an inside presence and veteran like Scola could be a savvy pickup. They also get a guy in Lamb with huge potential as an outside shooter. Ross has been benched, and Hansbrough doesn't provide much in the way of offense. This isn't a huge gamble for them, but its a playoff move that could pay big dividends.

LOSE LOSE LOSE
no one gets better in this deal

Okc Wins Trade


3.) 07 Feb 2015
Jackson > Watson

Lamb = Ross

OKC gets nothing for two former first round prospects.

Hey wizfan2, Lamb does not equal Ross. Ross is a better shooter and a better defender with freaky athleticism


5.) 08 Feb 2015
Lambs stats per 40 mins
18ppg, 7rpg, 3apg, 16 PER

Ross stats per 40 mins
16ppg, 5rpg, 1apg, 11 PER

So how is Ross better? And either way Jackson is way way better than Watson.
