The later ones, not the mid first ones.
and teams are starting to realize that there IS such thing as having too many picks in one draft. You wanna stagger picks in different drafts, not have 8 picks at once because you won't have the roster space to add them and teams will be hesitant to take them in a trade down.
The only reason why Noel works with Boston is because he's defensive minded (and let's be very hesitant: he's NOT the player people thought he'd be three years. He was supposed to be on some AD-lite shyt). Him being a hometown guy helps, but he's up for a contract extension this summer. Boston has to figure that out now before the cap goes up. Not easy.
Embiid you'd only have one year of health and taking rookie lumps before he's eligible to be extended. Tough decision for anyone.
I see them doing it this offseason and freeing me of the hell of being a Kings fan![]()
Why in poo perfect hell would you trade Okafor, someone who has produced already and looks to be a dominant force offensively, instead of Embiid, SOMEONE WHO HASN'T EVEN PLAYED YET AND IS INJURY PRONE?![]()
From what I understand the Kings are only and I mean only keeping Cuz so that they have a star to market for the new building...I think they only consider trading him for another starZ

Durant to the Blazers

Okafor's getting ridiculously undervalued on this board. Put him on that Celtics team and they become noticeably better.none of those big men are enticing
