Once his rookie deal is up he's a restricted free agent.

Ahh, i totally forgot about that!

You da man. Iq points, and blood pressure points, both saved in one move.

I cant lie, if I am really bored I might watch pti or around the horn. But first take I knowmight be the worst show on tv.

I know lot of ppl hate ESPN but I find it entertaining. Analysis can be decent at times and it can be funny sometimes

He still looks less than pleased tho.

Hopefully he gets over it tho.

He could just sign a 1 year deal and leave the following year.

We all watched the press conference, he probably thought it was as stupid as we did.

Tim Duncan never looks happy. This is Okafor's demeanor. Maybe he doesn't want to be in Philly but none of his facial expressions prove that. I wish people would stop trying to be psychologists and stop over analyzing everything.

Yeah. That's happened about once because that player thinks he's worth the max and no team would offer it. (Monroe)

Even if Okafor preferred not to be drafted here, it's not like he can't change his feelings. Our team is young and extremely close, probably one of the closes in the league. We have a coach in Brett Brown who players absolutely love.

Seriously, Okafor isn't going to hate it here.

I'm a Philadelphian born & raised, and love everything about my city. WIll probably be here the rest of my life. Though, one thing I have always hated about our fans is we tend to drive our players out of town. This Okafor doesn't want to be here stuff is just another example.

GO WATCH HIS press conference after winning the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. The kid looked like he just crawled out of bed. Stop making something out of nothing, and for **** once just be grateful we might have the first franchise player on our team since ALLEN IVERSON. SERIOUSLY, we haven't had a franchise player since Ai & this may very well be him. /rant.

He'll get over it when he sees the disasters that the Lakers and Knicks are going to be.

Agree.Hope noel/okafor can do some nice things next season, we have a young and very close team for sure.AI was one of the best FP in nba maybe we never ser a guy like hin again.
