    They're unusual plan is to have Noel, Okafor, Embiid, Saric, their own pick, the Miami pick, and the Laker pick (if it's outside the top 3) all available next year. Plus Covington.

    They'll undoubtedly trade out one big man if Embiid can play, and maybe quit tanking at that point?

    It's been pretty crazy, but that's their path.

    If that's the case...wonder if the Celtics bite on him...Think he'd be a great consolation prize if Boston misses out on a big splash deal... And they have the right pieces to engage Hinkie...

    Hinkie will ask for the BKN pick and another pick. ;) He is gonna ask for a huge haul.

    The good thing is that in Stevens system the wings will be able to hide Okafor's pitiful rim protection as they have done with Olynyk and fat Sully. Boston is top 3 in defence and has only one broken down defensive C.

    It will be good for Okafor to get traded there.

    We go from Dwight and James only hang out with each other to they both hate each other. Which is it?

    They probably hate eachother but they both seem like they don't like confrontation. James even said earlier this year they are closer now than ever. They're both just saying what the media wants to hear.

    Kinda wish they had it out at some point before splitting

    Gasol bros.,boogie , Bosh,Love and maybe Tim Duncan would disagree . I do think okafor is to small to really hold down center spot. But he is a very good PF.

    Meanwhile Woj came out wiht a new report about Pau completely opposite of everything ever told by Pau himself so far. Can't believe someone is using Woj on purpose..so most likely Pau is afraid to get traded wherever.

    All of those are either great defenders (rim protectors +/ positional defenders)+/ great rebounders +/ can shoot.
    Brown said they will not try Okafor at pf because he can't defend in space. They have tried it in practice.

    No thanks we would have the same problem we have with Dwigt with spacing just WAY worse. Okafor is a worse Dwight especially on D
