As far as Ibaka, he is 32 right now. He had been coming off back surgery where he never found a rhythm. Al Horford just had a "reincarnated" season at age 35/36. With a 100% healthy offseason, no reason Ibaka couldn't do something similar next season at age 33. He has always been a talented NBA player, worth the risk of a small 1-year deal.
