Crazy take, imo. 

You might wish the entire league was "against" OKC, but in reality they are simply "for" themselves. ATL did this because they're getting Wiggins, an impressive young player they believe they can make into something important, for two 2nds, a price I'd wager takes OKC's situation into account. Very likely there was a low key bidding war out there for Wiggins and probably another for Joe.

Agree to vehemently disagree. The Thunder's urgent to need to reduce payroll ***in order to remain a dominant team*** is far greater than any other team's need for a promising young player, and that reality should be the beginning of any negotiation for those players. "So, what are you giving us to take Joe off your books?"
