The question is does Ibaka want to win or does he want to get paid?

I dont think the Warriors or Cavs have enough money to sign him to a reasonable contract so I think he will opt with getting paid since that is the only option.
Why do people want to rent Ibaka for a half year to take minutes away from Lyles, the guy who looks like he is hitting his stride and is on his way to becoming a deadly weapon for us?

No thanks to Ibaka. Is rather see Lyles develop. In my opinion, we need another wing scorer. Maybe that is Burks, but I'm losing faith.

Orlando isn't going to dump him for nothing, and we shouldnt be trading any potential assets for a player that will almost certainly go elsewhere, he wants to start and he wants to get paid max money and for this team Ibaka isn't a max guy.
I still can't believe Orlando made that trade

Welcome mate, get ready to take a bunch of posts with a grain of salt but have fun !
Sunk cost.
They signed him with the belief that they'd get the inside track to re-sign him long term.
If they now believe he will walk for nothing, they would move him for much less than what they gave up, if they are rational.
They may want to save face, however, as it may be less embarrassing to say "we tried to resign him and he went elsewhere" compared to "we gave up Oladipo/ Sabonis in exchange for two second rounders"
