    If we're going to get a center Nurkic is much more worthwhile. He's probably cheaper than Okafor too.

    I'm not a big Okafor fan, but I'll take him over Noah in the starting lineup. I'd give the Cavs pick and whatever filler for him. He did average 17/7 last year before he fell out of favor.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Olshey seems to really value having a post brute, considering this and other trade/signing crushes. Okafor isn't really even good at that yet (despite that part of his game supposedly being NBA-ready from day 1) but he does have the potential at least. I'm not a fan, especially since he'll only make the defense worse.

    Didn't we have reported interest in Okafor last season? Or was that this summer? What would we even give up? I would absolutely hate it if we gave up Vonleh, especially for Okafor.

    Not that I think this guy is some insider or anything but it is common knowledge we have tested the waters in an Okafor trade before. Doesn't mean we will get him this time around though.

    If I had to guess I think Okafor ends up with the lakers. Clarkson for Okafor seems like a pretty good deal for both teams. I know they have Mozgov but Okafor is still on his rookie contract so whatever.

    Yeah, from my reliable sources (here). Does that mean we're not gonna get the early scoop from him ever again? Serious question, as I don't know....

    Would ajinca and a protected first really be more appealing to philly than Ezeli and a protected first? I mean I guess it depends on the protection but Ezeli represents bigger savings for philly than ajinca would, who's still under contract for a couple more seasons.

    While no deal is imminent for Okafor, talks progressing, more advanced than previous ones with Bulls and Pelicans, according to sources.

    So it's either Denver or Portland...

    The nuggets?? That makes no sense. Maybe a three way deal?

    To Denver: Okafor

    To Portland: Nurkic

    To Philly: draft picks from Portland and Denver, and Ezeli?

    Still doesn't make sense.
