If Noel or Okafor aren't traded by the deadline..

If I was a Sixers fan I would be

I would trade both of them.

1. They are well on their way to having another lottery pick.
2. They will essentially get 2 lottery picks next year if you count Ben Simmons.
3. Having those 3 pieces simply doesn't fit and you don't even have a decent point guard.


The only logic people give for them not doing it is the "health" with Embid. I say you can't let one player stagnate you entire franchise. Embid looks legit and they need to simply move on with Noel and Okafor because at this point, BOTH players are being held back from growing.

Noel is gone.
He's agent is the same guy responsible for the dwightmare.

Sixers have no leverage your trade either for a good deal. Even if it means maxing Noel and then trading him for a good de next year is still better than 10 cents on the dollar.

Okafor tho... Now he's even got Embiid taking shots at his defense he's not gonna last long as a sixer.

Trade them where?

Trade them where?

Ezeli is out for the season maybe the blazers offer an unprotected pick and another player.

Teams will lowball the shyt out of the Sixers, especially for Noel

I don't think Okafor ever wanted to go to the Sixers. He got drafted to a team that was tanking on purpose. Who would want to play for an organization like that? These players coming in to the NBA are still kids. I can't knock him for not giving effort. Then add to the fact that they already drafted 2 other big men BEFORE him. Somebody was going to be the odd man out. He's a big man on a team with no decent point guard of the future.

Simmons not playing this year?

I was about to say this. We need big men in the worst way...even with Ezeli healthy.

It's quite a sad situation, Okafor is being very under utilized, and while his defense is porous, Okafor is one those big men that his defense will only improve based on how many touches & involved he is on the offensive side of the game. Plus Brett Brown is not a good coach, his gameplan is horrible....

Evan Turner and a 1st rounder for Noel and Rodgriuez: NBA Trade Machine - ESPN

Or wait until January 17th and trade Crabbe to the 76ers.

If they have any sense this trade won't happen.

I think he is back next month.

Teams aren't going to trade a great asset for Noel. Crabbe works.
