    Sorry, but I'm not seeing the Kings. Why would they want Millsap (old) and why would he want Sac (bad)?

    We'd have to trump whatever Indiana is offering, which is at least their own pick (which is better than the memphis/cavs pick)

    I would take Okafor at a good discount but I also not sad if he goes somewhere else. Not giving them our pick. MEM pick at highest.

    I suspect the asking price is reasonable.

    Then he goes to Indiana, 100%, because they are offering their own pick

    I'd just say fuck it and start Okafor at pf if we got him next to Nurk, spacing be damned.

    It doesn't say they are offering their pick for Okafor, it says they are floating their pick for the best offer that they think will help the team. I know it could mean they are making that offer, but it doesn't say that exactly.

    That is connecting the dots. But it doesn't say they offered it specifically for Okafor. Just that they are pursuing him. They could be pursuing him with two seconds for all we know. Because if they did say they will give up their first then the deal would be done imo.

    It seems like the Blazers are very good about not having leaks, so I'm just curious why someone is calling you and telling you these things, but no one in the national media knows? Not that I don't believe you, just seems odd.

    Who has the scouting report on Okafor?

    He seems like a plodding C who doesn't play D. Why do we want him?

    His PER36 numbers are like identical to Nurkic. What's the point?

    Only reason I would take him at a discount is because he does have value around the league and I would try to flip him this off-season or next deadline for something we really need.

    I am glad we didn't get him before Nurkic (or only - instead of Nurkic) though.

    All about asset accumulation. I just wouldn't give up much. But Neil has reportedly had a boner for him for some time. I don't see it personally.

    Neil has a fascination with big plodding centers.

    '

    Because he's just some random dude, and not associated with the media?
