Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

That'd be hilarious if we got him for a second rounder, but I can't see it, although I do think his future is as a backup. I wouldn't mind Okafor being a go to guy on the second unit.

 

Nurk > Okafor all day.

But if we can still get Okafor for cheap we should.

 

See Above. Its possible we could be contenders next year.

 

i kinda still want okafor if he is cheap as fuck. some post scoring might be rad, who knows.

 

So what did we offer philly anyway? Cleveland pick and Ezeli?

 

I am completely shocked we almost had Okafor. I wonder what the snag was?

 

There was another reporter saying we were just trying to bargain with Denver.

 

Nurkic + pick + better defense + not having to pay Plumlee was a better deal and a better fit?

 

It was a brilliant play on both sides. We still are gonna get Okafor. Its just now we got each of them at a 10% discount if they hadnt been played on each other. Niether GM would think we want both, so they sell cheaper to make the move they wantto make. But we want both. Now we can go to Phili and say, we will take him but only on the cheap cause we now have Norkic. But if you want him off your hands for say... our Cleveland pick, then you need to take either Crabbe, or Leonard and Aminu off our roster and we will take Henderson back.

It would help clean up the salary issue a bit too.

 

Nurkic and three picks vs Okafor and one pick is such a discrepancy that I think Olshey was just using Philly to get a better offer from Denver.

 

Old news.

This would be true, but the assumption here is that no other team would offer anything better for Okafor. I don't think his value is THAT low, but we'll see.

 

We offer our pick? Top ten protected? Thats way better than CLE's. Man if Olshey cold pull something like that off, all thats left is finding a solid PF. Turner Harkless is a fine enough duo at the three I think. Need a stud Pf and wed be set.

 

I would never offer our own pick for Okafor, even top 10 protected. Cleveland pick at most.

 

Even if they took either Crabbes or Leonards contracts off our hands?

 

Dammit. Okay fine. Memphis pick then. It will be in the low 20's. (Sooo nice to have options!!!! lol)

 

No.

Crabbe for bayless and a first round pick is whay we should be doing with the sixers. Bayless only has 2 years left at 9 million per.

 

Even then. Crabbe is worth more than a salary dump. Leonards contract isn't that prohibitive either.

 

Dammit you guys. cant we just push our dead weight off on thier docks and swoop down and just hand pick our needs?
All your damn reasoning. lol

So Crabbe/Leonard and our memphis pick for Okafor/Bayless and one of their inevitable top 15 picks.


Wish you could include picks in the trade sim.
