Found this on the Sixers sub-reddit. Top comment says : Bev, KJ, future 1st. I'd love that trade. Okafor is a future star. https://www.reddit.com/r/sixers/comments/4w8iks/sixer_fans_what_would_yall_want_from_the_rockets/ Okafor/Anderson would be atrocious together but it's not like they're competing for a title now. I'd try to get Milsap next summer.
You do this trade all day, every day. Hell, if this means we have to trade for Rubio (and fulfill bballholic's wetdream) to fill Bev's spot, I'm on board.
For Nerlens Noel, not Okafor: Spoiler ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Philadelphia Inquirer - Keith Pompey - June 23, 2016] An NBA source said the Sixers turned down a trade offer from Houston in which the Rockets would acquire for Noel for Pat Beverly and Trevor Ariza. It was first reported by Liberty Ballers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">In preliminary trade talks, Houston pitched the Sixers a package involving Trevor Ariza and Patrick Beverley for Nerlens Noel, per source.</p>— Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) <a href="https://twitter.com/JakeLFischer/status/746034375368794112">June 23, 2016</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Sweet. Does this fan have an email address so Morey can contact him or her and kick off negotiations?
what the fans want & are willing to do in a trade are completely different from what the team wants & willing to trade for.
Lol, Sixers fans are thirsty as **** for a change...really, i didn't expect to see all those guys being ok for a trade like this... Btw, at least a guy in that thread talks about our pick, well, this may actually be a great moment to trade a 1st rounder for us, seems like a lot of people think we're going to suck nexst season, and since i don't think this is right, i'd put our 1st rounder on the table with no hesitation in a scenario like this, not sure if and how much protected but yeah...this may be the best moment to trade a 1st.
So, basically a GARM random trade idea turned into summer dreams* (sigh)... *But not the Dream (sigh alas sigh).
Supposedly for Nerlens Noel, not Okafor. Still would rather have Noel. He's better than Capela and would be a much better complement to Harden and Anderson.
Yeah do not want Okafor. He's a dinosaur -- a wonderful post player but doesn't fit our system or team. Noel, on the other hand, is a top 10 defensive player. WANT.
Harden, Anderson, Okaford, Beasley, Gordon, Prigioni What a group of defensively capable winners lmao
