Good pickup for the Magic, but the problem with Ibaka is that he fell in love with the 3 ball and has a case of mistaken identity. He's a 4/5 not a hybrid 3/4. I thought he took too many shots from around the perimeter and not enough on the inside.
Hopefully he can reclaim his identity when he goes to Orlando.

You know, I think he just showed everyone that he actually has varied skills.

It's up to the coach to figure out a way to use the guy, he has low post and high post skills. Seems like in todays game, there would be a way to utilize that. Honestly, I am surprised they are dumping him, except that Adams is stronger and a more imposing force inside and they feel like they don't need his outside skills.

Seems to me he could have been a fairly good match for the Lakers, but not really sure.
