Okafor trade talk: Will he be traded by the deadline?

[TTP]

If you look at oak he is way better than anyone that just came out of the 2016 draft by far
don't say simmons because i'm talking about players that have actually played in a game.
So i don't see why they cant get a top 10 pick for him.

I would 100% accept any of the following guys straight up for Okafor (even the ones from this group that are doing poorly so far because I still believe in their upside).

J Murray
Ingram
Brogdon
Brown
Dunn
LeVert
McCaw
D Murray
Baldwin
Bender
Maker
Zubac
Valentine

There are probably another 10+ that I'd consider as well.

[TTP]

Okafor and Noel need to realize that there potential and draft status means nothing in the NBA. They need to put in work and work on there weaknesses. Honestly I want both of them traded. They are pretty much the same as they were in collegd or worst. Okafors motor is awful and his jumper and defense is lazy. Nerlens hasnt improved at anything. Trade these bums.

It's reasonable to think that Nerlens should be traded but it's unreasonable to say the bolded. Where did this ignorant narrative come from and why do so many people regurgitate it? Anyone that puts in a little effort towards being informed should realize that there have been plenty of improvements in his game, especially on the offensive end.

Zubac, I don't know... Everybody else, yes.

Zubac was possibly the most marginal but he's started getting more minutes and has been pretty solid and is only 19 years old. Will need to evaluate more going forward.

McCaw is interesting. Jerry says he was a steal for them, and while he could be talking him up for trade, I kind of doubt it. (though he could still improve on his shooting some.) add their pick and it's the kind of lowball offer we might look twice at considering OK4's chronic knee and Nerlen's contract.

This is quite the conclusion after having seen the rookies play less than half of an NBA season

Would be funny if Okafor opts to sit out the game against the Heat and let Noel take on Whiteside again

He should be well rested after sitting out the Magic game.

What's wrong with Oafafor now??? Injured labia?

Trade

We can only hope at this point. Otherwise Oaf not playing tonight is further absurdity from this organization

This can't be true is it? BC trying to take the heat off of himself for the Embiid injury coverup? Can't be.

In his interview he talked about trying to find a better situation for his players. Then said he hadn't had many conversations with Noel agent recently been talking more with Okafors.

You can read between the lines here.

Tom Moore just came out and said no trade as of yet.

[LloydFree]

If Colangelo gets more than a used Kleenex for Okafor he should get executive of the year.

The problem is he's an old school type center in a league that has moved on from them. Teams don't value those guys as highly any longer. Of those guys only Valentine, Baldwin, and McCaw makes sense because they aren't so good they'll be missed and their team could use an upgrade at Center. I would say Dunn but why would MN do that when they have KAT? Maybe in a thee team? My guess is it'll eventually just be like the rumored deal i.e. an okay player and future pick. But it needs to happen just so the dark cloud over the whole situation can go away. But you don't want to just give him away. But what if there aren't any good offers?

What about Rozier? He's an attacking PG who can finish, has a great looking jump shot and is a good rebounder. You need a guard. Maybe we throw in a future non BK 1st? Rozier needs to play like IT but Brad doesn't use him that way so you aren't seeing him set up for success. He's a good player though and might just need to be in a different system with a new coach. I have a feeling he'll be on the move since we most likely pick a guard in the draft and they still have Smart to back up both guard spots.

Okafor to Boston is my dream. Stop teasing.

Is this Boston offering Rozier and the 2019 MEM pick for Okafor? That's an immediate yes.
