Jahlil Okafor gets traded to Brooklyn Nets

[KOBE]

A big man with his skillset will always be "playable", he just needs to be utilized properly and not put in a position where he's relied upon to anchor the defense for a long period of time.

Nah you said his defense would improve and it was just his rookie season and that's why he was trash. I'll be waiting for those improvements.

its like I want to root for philly but I know the ending of this team now that they have this fool running basketball operations

I'm not a Philly fan, but I was pissed af when I saw their return for Nerlens Noel and now they got Cuban telling the team to not play Nerlens so his market value is low next summer

These teams ain't shyt

I honestly hope players take note of this shyt, too many guys sign to teams with shytty management. You go where the money is, but if your team is run by shytty management your career isn't gonna go anywhere.

draft 4 bigs consecutively and thats what happens. this aint 2k or baseball. but really I cant fault them for taking Noel or Embiid. the issue wasnt created until they drafted okafor. shouldve moved the pick

Or drafted porzingis

So to recap, Colangelo traded Okafor & Nerlens for Trevor Booker, Justin Anderson and a 1st round pick that ended up being two 2nd rounders

When did I argue that his defense "would improve"? He hasn't had a chance to prove either way (cause he hasn't been playing), so I don't know what the fukk you're talking about.

Brooklyn just replaced D'Tective and his bum knee @smitty22 :umjawalrus:

then these incompetent dumbass teams wonder why their players aint loyal this and that

there are bunch of teams in the league that are trying to fukk up a players value on purpose. When we look at this shyt...there is really not that many teams that do their work well, nba is full of shyt teams where IF they draft amazing talent they will make the playoffs, but if not..... that's all their plan

 

[AJtheOne]

[GunRanger]

Somebody gotta get cut when Thee Franchise comes back :DemBuckeyes:

 

[hayesc0]

I see the Nets are going to release Kilpatrick and keep Stauskus

 

[L&HH]

Booker is sad as hell right now

Why would he be sad? He doesn't even have to move, he's playing like 2 hours away and Philly will be in the playoffs and might be a contender in a few years.

That's the NBA breh. Unfortunately, there's a lack of GMs who can evaluate talent out there. How many R.C. Bufords are really building their team, and reloading almost every other year with the draft?

This is a close knit team. The players like each other and there’s a culture here where even though the losing sucks, they’re not losing sight of the goal. Booker provided a lot of energy for them and was a lunch pail guy.
