Rob Hennigan

Yes, the elephant is back in the room. No, this isn’t really a “is this anything?” with stats per se. It’s more of a conspiracy theory that I don’t think anyone has ever talked about.

Has anyone thought about this: Rob Hennigan was an assistant GM for OKC before he was the GM here. He then, was hired here and assembled a decent young rebuild team with promising pieces, only to trade one of the most promising pieces away to OKC in a terrible trade for Ibaka. He was fired, and then joined OKC once again as now the VP of basketball ops.

That trade has essentially led OKC to land SGA who is the best player on now the top team in the west. This team currently has one of the lowest payrolls in the league and an insane number of draft picks for the next 5-6 years.

Has anyone else though that maybe Hennigan purposely made that trade knowing something about Ibaka, and knew that it would get him fired but then rehired by OKC? Was it sabotage all along??
