BC takes Bender or Murray. My guess is Murray.

Both?!

GREAT trade by BOS if so. I'd gladly take either player over what appears to be left over at #9.

Should clarify that they're talking about Noel OR Okafor, not both.

Extremely misleading title. Please be more careful.

Damn! Thats an interesting deal! Honestly, I think Noel is a real talent but limited by injuries... and Okafor might be a little overrated... Might be a good deal for Philly if you ask me!

That third pick might be worth Noel, but it sure isn't worth Okafor who showed he will be a player in this league.

If I'm Philly, I squeeze more out of the Cs.

Id rather have Noel than Okafor on my team.

3rd pick for Okafor is a solid deal for Boston.

That doesn't make any sense to me. Okafor hasn't shown anything beyond an offense the league has passed by, and possibly the worst defense from a big man in the NBA.

Hinkie didn't die for this.

Noel is more valuable than Okafor

Trading Okafor after the year he had for the third pick sure sounds like a Hinkie move to me.

GMing beyond the grave. Also the idea that BC would take Dunn AND Simmons and hand the team over to two guys that dominate that ball and can't shoot seems so bizarre.

Okafor has had maturity issues but I think he's got more talent to be a star than Noel. Noel can still be solid but Okafor has more upside, size and doesn't have any injuries concerns.

TheGoodDoctor · Post #19 » by **TheGoodDoctor** » Tue Jun 21, 2016 3:21 pm

I still like the trade for BOS even if it is "OR" if it's for Okafor.

Hey, some GMs are in the talent acquisition business.
