move up to 18 and add a solid 3 point shooter in cook.
per yahoo sports:
Thunder could climb past 18
After acquiring the No. 18 pick from the Miami Heat, the Oklahoma City Thunder might not be done moving up.
League sources say the Thunder have discussed a deal that would send the 18th and 21st picks with point guard Eric Maynor to the Indiana Pacers for the 10th overall selection.
gunning for ekpe udoh?

I'm not really Serge Ibaka: I was born and raised in Green Country and not in the Congo. But I do like giraffes.
apparently golden state really wants him, and they're sitting at 6. maybe greg monroe??
also, i do like maynor too. thought he did very well for his rookie season in the backup role...there's a lot of promise there with him.
I think these kind of trades are scummy. But I suppose they fit in perfectly with David Stern's personality.
Atheist.
Care to elaborate on this?

apparently we just traded our 18th and 21st for the 11th (Cole ****ing Aldrich) pick. ****. NO.
great trade... aldrich fills a big need down low
Great move. They needed a big man, Cole can step in and start now..

and our 18th and 21st picks were eric bledsoe and quincy pondexter...two guys i was really high on and would provide great depth behind russ and KD. aldrich is one of the most overrated players in this draft. he'll grab a few boards and get some blocks, but his offensive game is pretty raw. sounds a lot like last year's #2 pick hasheem thabeet doesn't it?
Not yet, but yahoo is reporting it.

The guys we picked are going to other teams.
Let me see your war face!!
If I were the Thunder, I'd much rather have Aldrich than Pondexter and Bledsoe.
So what does everybody think about going for broke to get Aldrich? I think the guys we picked would have been great additions, but it also still would have left us with the weak spot we started with, which is the center. Krstic isn't a true center. He can't bang with the big boys. Collison is scrappy but still isn't what we really need in a starter. Thomas barely plays. Aldrich gives us a solid force down low. 6'11' 245lbs, and probably a tad heavier at this point. I can't really complain with this draft for the Thunder. Sam Presti obviously wanted to try to fill that hole this season, and I'm sure not going to question Presti given his track record. And we just picked Magnum Rolle, center from LSU. Apparently he is 6'11" as well. Looks like Presti had his mind set that center was what he needed and the other positions were sitting pretty right now.

21 was Brackins.
The Eric Bledsoe pick and trade to the Clippers for a future pick wasn't a terrible idea. He was the 18th pick. Even with Blake griffin playing next year, the Clippers are almost a lock to have a future top 10 pick...if not top 5. I love Blake, but that team has problems and a track record to go along with it.
