    Not reading too much into it, but that sure is a glowing report.

    still prefer him over capela. despite the injury and pouting issues, the talent disparity is significant

    As a GM or coach, I'd be furious if one of my players said that about the coach of the opposing team on Game Day playing against them.

    So furious, I'd trade him immediately ... :D

    The problem for the Rockets to make this trade will be :

    Everyone in the 76ers will be a work in progress. You never know how high their ceiling actually will be and how low the floor will be.

    If your team is going no where, you definitely will take this gamble, but right now, will you?

    Not an easy answer.

    If Dekker & KJ are gone it means brewer will play a lot more. Do you really want that!?!?!?!?

    We really don't have anyway of getting Noel. People need to forget about him

    Noel is pouter... Go for a guy that is humble and won't miss a beat and comes dirt cheap.....Mason Plumlee.. In the D'Antoni system he would use his athleticism and strength to dominate on the boards and finish at the rim.

    It seems that Okafor is more of the odd man out for the 76ers than Nerlens Noel; Noel can back up and play alongside Embiid better than can Okafor.

    It's increasingly obvious we need another big...
    I'm guessing Morey is just biding his time til the deadline to get the best deal he can...

    If players really like MDA, then that certainly will be a nice advantage in Free Agency.
