Sixers 'gauging interest' in Jahlil Okafor trades

Send Harden to his house ASAP

 

Spurs are the exception and don't really count since they already had Parker, Timmy and a winning culture

Not a terrible idea. Both players have glaring weaknesses and will for years, and the Sixers are probably trying their damnedest to win now.

If I were them I'd call Sacramento and offer these two plus other crap for Boogie. Cuz you never know what Ranadive will do.

 

D'Antoni in Philly so we buying?

 

shouldn't we trade for Embiid instead to carry on the legacy of injured big men?

 

Well D'Antoni knows them better than anyone else. Getting Noels or Okafor takes us out the running on the Horford / Whiteside max deals. Thank god.

Noel - 11 points, 8 rebs, 1.5 blocks. 52% FG

Okafor - 17.5 points, 7 Rebs, 1.2 Blocks, 50% FG,

 

Let's see who's going to rape Colangelo.

 

D'Antoni would probably want Okafor instead of Noel. Noel is a pretty good defender, and could help us out.

We don't have the resources to acquire Okafor without including Harden, and doing something like that would be disastrous. Philly probably wants a bunch of 1st round picks, and the Rockets shouldn't cough them up for either one of them.

 

How so? These guys are on rookie contracts and the rockets would have to give up assets to get them. If anything, it would open up more cap space.

 

Nah...they sacked Hinkie cause they're tired of draft picks (basically), they want proven players, that's what they're going to ask for their young guys.

Anyway, i'm not even sure what is the point to trade for Noel, him and Capela are pretty similar but Capela is cheaper, had no injuries till now, probably more upside even if i think Noel as today is better, just not that much better to trade for him.

 

Harden for Embiid, Okafor, Landry, and picks. Then snag Ish in free agency. Maybe AB.

 

wtf, why?

 

You...want to be the 76ers?

 

Like Noel over Okafor fit wise. But Okafor will be a perennial all star potentially.

 

get the entire f outta here

 

The only way HOU pulls off a Noel or Jahlil is a 3-way deal. Either way, I would guess the price is higher for Jahlil than Noel. I'd like either, though Capela would likely be on the way out, and I'm not sold that either will definitively be better than Clint.

 

Okafor did not play D'antoni ball. That's why they were 'entertaining' trading him.
