Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

So has the sentiment on Crabbe's contract changed? We're not looking to dump it anymore?

 

Scalma has never wanted to dump Crabbe or his contract.

 

Party of one. Lol

 

Denver? They need to get rid of Nurkic already. And they have Jokic.

 

I'm there with you. I like the player, and am fine with the contract.

 

If we are Philly seems like the best fit. They have available cap space and they could use an outside shooter. He will not solve our defensive issues....at all. But he does have excellent offensive skills, and if you put the right forwards around him it could work. And it
would allow us to keep Plums.

 

But I don't see how Plumlee/Okafor would work. Then again Okafor is relatively cheap so maybe we can afford to carry both, with Okafor being a focal point of the second unit. I don't know.

 

I don't necessarily think it's an albatross of a contract, like so many people do. But given the context (Lillard/CJ/Turner), it just doesn't seem like a good match for us - too much money, too much duplication.

 

It'd work a hell of a lot better than Plumlee/Aminu, or Plumlee/Vonleh. It may not be ideal, but it sure beats our current options.

 

Both those combos are better defensively than Okafor/Plumlee, especially on the perimeter. I think if Okafor were to to be a blazer, he wouldn't really play together with Plumlee, but rather back him up. He could still see significant minutes, even as a backup.

 

That would be fine, too. But I'm really not concerned about the defense - we suck, and we can't really suck much more than we already do. Swapping out Aminu with Okafor would be a small step back on defense and a huge leap forward on offense - a net positive.

 

Is Okafor really that good offensively? 50% from the field, as a guy that only shoots around the rim, almost under 40% from everywhere except 3 feet... Idk.

 

I doubt Okafor would play huge minutes. You need 3 centers IMO. One will always get hurt.

 

Nurkic didn't play tonight either btw.

Nurkic, Okafor, Ezeli three way works on trade machine.

Philly gets couple draft picks, and gets closer to the cap floor while still saving money next season. Portland gets Nurkic. Denver gets Okafor for god knows what reason.

 

He has a very good post up game IMO. We can use that. I am not saying the guy is an all star but I like that he is a big with skills and is a space eater. (270+) We could use one of those.
7'5" wing and 9'2.5" standing......21 years old

 

Ew.

 

I'm more encouraged that Olshey is looking at a center than the actual idea of Okafor.

 

more news that denver is one of the teams

 

Ive watched him play so I see the skills that are so appealing to some, but it doesn't seem to translate into positive production on either side of the floor.

 

That's such a dreadful offer for Philadelphia. Holiday is UFA after this season and obviously they are not going anywhere this season.
