Is there a table there, and we just can't see it? If not, man that doesn't look too good. It's tough after they trade away a guy who makes the allstar team, and then ROY the season after he wins it. However, that could give him insentive to get either, so he will be traded.

That makes sense. That option is the last choice now.

That's disrespectful as F

According to the 76'er board that video is altered or photoshopped.

Apparently this is the actual video: http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1395710#start_here

It doesn't seem to be altered or photoshopped...they just showed the very end, which looks much worse than the whole video..I figured that might be the case since for some reason they just showed the very end.

The video from the 76'er board seems legit. Okafor is respectful and just folds the jersey and lays it on the table.

It seems the original video has been altered somehow.

Hollywood angles

He drops it on the table which is fair enough but the angle doesn't show the table so it looks bad. I take back what I said. Thanks for clearing it up

Cool, that's what I originally thought. Most shots like that are after the presser, where they sit at a table. Plus the jersey looked almost weightless and its leaning forward, like it was resting on something. Glad that got cleared up. Hopefully the guy who tweeted the edited angle gets a kick in the croch.

I'm all in for trading for Okafor.

Let's offer up some of those future 1st rounders we have that Philly likes so much .

My prediction on who goes where.
I think Marc Gasol goes to the Spurs.
Deandre Jordan possibly to the Mavericks.
Kevin Love stays in Cleveland.
Aldridge to the Suns. 8-)

I don't see why Aldridge would want to go to the Mavs besides the fact that he grew up there I guess. They got two mediocre PG's in Felton/Harris. Both are way past their prime. They actually only have Chandler Parsons who will be there long term, and Dirk could very well retire in two years. I just don't see them being an intriguing free agent destination.

He was surprisingly serviceable in 2K. RIP

If anyone is interested in posting their thoughts about the Pelicans on their board (in a positive manner) head over there and do so...the powers that be want to get that forum creating topics and getting discussion going so if anyone wants to add to it, so if Pels fans happen to come by, they see there are interesting topics and it is current. The last posts before today were back in early May. I know they have another popular forum, but they are trying to see if we can make it so new posters will start posting there.

Any chance I can get people to vote in this poll? viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1396214#start_here

It would be appreciated.

Done, I think the Pelicans have a chance to make a run around 2018 so that was my vote.

Very interesting take on the whole idea of the draft, starting around 21:30:

Solid move for Washington considering they are losing Paul Pierce....younger and a good vet leader and solid swing backup.

Is lillard really worth 10 million per year more than Bledsoe?
