Lavine for Okafor?

I'd probably rather ride out the year with Rubio and see what you can make happen when the cap goes up. I dont think anything we would get tomorrow would help the team long term. His value will hopefully get a little bit of a bump with the new cap.

Somethings you can just see right away....

I know he's 19 years old but I think he's cut from the same cloth as Al Jefferson or Greg Monroe.

If your eyes and analytics match (& to me they do) it's better to get value for him before everyone else realizes (just like MCW.

This is some of the most reactionary shyt I've ever read on here.

Okafor's numbers are similar across the board compared to DeMarcus Cousins at the same age except with a much higher FG% and you're comparing him to Big Al and Monroe?

Okafor put up 26/10/5/2 blocks on Cousins and the Kings right before the All-Star break on 11/18 shooting.

i dunno how you're gonna give up on your star rookie big man so quick. you really think your eyes and the analytics have already determined his future after only 50 games in league?

I think everything he does well on the offensive end on the floor is cancelled out on defense. I just don't see him getting better on defense. On offense he's great for being 19 but he's a ball stopper, can't stretch the floor, not a good FT shooter....That can improve, I guess. I personally do not like his game and do not see star potential in him but it's just my opinion. I could be wrong tho and there's no shame in that for me. I've been wrong before.

@Regular_P

I'd like to also add, you're not going to defend Okafor or anyone's offensive stats by telling me what they did against the Sacramento Kings regardless if Cousins is there. They have one of the worst defensive schemes in the league and have given up almost 1.15 points per possession in the last 20 games or so.

Fair enough; he's put up numbers on plenty of teams though. I think his movement's been better than I thought it would be this season.

Philly was such a toxic environment before Colangelo, Pringles and Ish Smith () got there. They had the worst guard play in the league for the first 2+ months of the season and half the roster shouldn't even be in the league. That's crucial for a center.

He'll never be prime Zo, but I believe a damn good defense can be had with him in the middle and he's so damn fluid offensively.

It's a little thing, but the jump from 51% at the line in college to 68% so far in the pros tells me he wants to get better.

Pass on a okafor trade. The paint is already crowded enough. Agree they should just keep rubio for now. See what spot they get in the draft.

Winslow for Okafor

Ainge needs to make this happen

Can't wait for the deadline to pass so we can see if your insanity can be cured, this boy been posting non-stop about Winslow for the last week

Whiteside, Winslow, and mcroberts for lee, sully zeller and picks

They won't have to give up Winslow

The market won't be that strong for him

How does Miami match up the money tho?

At least Miami would feel pretty confident they could resign him

Agreed although I doubt Winslow is with the heat long term

So I hear Boston gonna get Winslow finally!

Don't be mad, it was ment to be...

You can have a couple non Brooklyn picks to ease the pain

Why would Sacramento do that?

They've aleady done the whiteside thing and cut him

They gonna trade boogie on a great contract for whiteside to pay him 20 million a year?

Fukk outta here!

Winslow to the Celtics btw

Whiteside, Winslow, and mcroberts for lee, sully zeller and picks

Lee, Chalmers fantasy production increase

anyone with insider?

 

[TrillCauleyStein]

simmons mentioned some interesting trades in his latest pod w/ joe house..

 

[inndaskKy]

Who will the Rockets get?

 

[42 Monks]

That's a GREAT trade for Utah tbh

They've basically been playing with no PG for the past two years. Very low risk. Also, in Lawson's case - it'll be like JR Smith leaving NY to get to Cleveland and having nothing to do but hoop.

They'd fukk a team up in the playoffs (That isn't SA or GS)
