It wasn't the reason for the trade, but you gotta believe Presti sees it as a cherry on top.
I would love to see the spurs draft Devin Ebanks hopefully he will be around 20.

BJ Mullens, what ... you no like!?!
It's not about a threat as much as them having a similar appreciation for players and talent. They're not trying to acquire the pick for a head-to-head compe ive advantage, it's about getting their hands on a player they'd like to have in their program -- one a team right in front of them probably feels the same way about.
The Spurs are absolutely a threat to the Thunder making the playoffs next year. Unless you think the West won't be as tight as it has been in the past few years.
They might not be done trading up.

Thunder holding serious talks with Pacers to trade Eric Maynor, 18th and 21st picks for Indy's 10th pick, sources tell Y!
thunder just made a of a deal. where were we in this?? id take cook and the 18.
Thunder pick up Cook and potentially a lottery pick with their 21st and 32nd pick. I wish Presti were still here.
Good moves, but he needs to move Jeff Green before his team can get serious..
great move as usual for okc

Look up a few posts
well cook is pretty useless but his salary is low. that's a good move for the thunder, especially if they acquire the 10th pick.
I would have too a few months ago,but he is not as athletic as I thought he was when he was at WV and he would need about 2 years to make any kind of contribution on an nba team.There are better players the Spurs can get with the #20 pick than Ebanks.
I agree. I don't think they can't win a championship with him at the four. I see him as either a starting three or a sixth man who plays both spots off the bench, a la Odom. Obviously, with the Thunder, he can't be their starting three.
Also, he's going to want to be paid as a third star and I don't see him as being worth, say, 5 years and $40-50 million, which he'll likely command.
If I'm the Thunder, I offer Green and some combination of their picks to the Kings for the fifth pick. At five, they could take Cousins and potentially have their cornerstone big man that they're missing. Add him to Durant and Westbrook and talent-wise, at least, that's a big three that should be championship caliber.
We were about 20 million over the cap (i.e., no cap room to send to Miami).
Green would make a perfect sixth man. Absolutely perfect. I couldn't think of a more perfect fit for him.
Green didn't improve at all this year, he actually got worse..his efficiency went down, his points went down, his rebounding went down..I don't mind him as a 6th man, but he's a stretch four that can't shoot consistently and doesn't play enough defense..
I don't see his appeal..
Like TD said, he's going to ask for more money than what a 6th man should make, and I'm sure some stupid team will throw money at him..OKC's main flaw as a team is their presence in the paint..I like Ibaka, but they need a significant upgrade over Green..
Unlikely to happen now...
NBA sources tell Y! possible OKC-Indy trade was talked about but doubtful. "Indy going down line looking for a young guard," one source says

Are you in' kidding me?
The heat are getting robbed!! Why the couldn't R.C pull the damn trigger for one time in his life outside his horrible trade for R.J??? 32 for 18 and Cook???
Spurs could have Cook and the 18th (Possibly Cousins due to his work ethic)...
Unbelievable..
Well, for starters, we don't have the cap space to do this deal. Also, our 2nd round pick is 49th, which is obviously much worse than Thunder's 32nd.Are you in' kidding me?

Oh and the 18th pick in this draft is just as useless as the 20th, which is why so many tems in that range, possibly Spurs too, want to get rid.
Excellent move by the Thunder, fawk, they're gonna take whoever we were gonna take lol
As a side note, Cook was the one player outside the lottery the Spurs had rated over Splitter in that draft. The Spurs would have taken Cook over Splitter.
I'm guessing Presti had at least some part of scouting Cook.
I liked Cook coming out of school, but he really hasn't done much with his time in the NBA. His career 37 FG% is nauseating. OKC is deep at guard and doesn't need much scoring with Durant in the mix, so he could find himself on the street in a year or two.
