        It'll be hard for him to come back from that.

        Anything more than swapping him for Jah doesn't seem right though. His value can't be that high, especially after this...

          Okafor straigh up.

          Noel would likely require a pick.

            I'd do 1:1 for Jah. I'd give lakers a pick (like a couple of 2nd's) and Noel for him.

              Yeah, I'm not really feeling this at all. Sounds extremely immature and I'd imagine any team is going to have a hard time accepting him after he did that. That's like a locker room mortal sin.

              And is he that good? Jah is averaging 17 and 7 and we have no idea how Embiid is going to be. I was bummed that the Sixers got Okafor instead of Russell but I think I was wrong about that. Granted, I haven't seen Russell play that much.

                If Embiid ever plays a game I'll be surprised. Big dudes with chronic foot problems aren't exactly foundations or dependable.

                Okafor is good on O but tragically bad on D

                Be tough to trade for a snitch but that's something the sixers team leaders would have to decide on really. Not owner or GM or coach.

                  If they think he has that kind of upside and the players think he can assimilate (I agree that they players need to be consulted before they risk bringing in a cancer) then I guess I'd be down. He has shown flashes of being special. There is no way I would add a draft pick, though. If anything, his value is at an all time low right now.

                        He's been inconsistent but that's partly due to the fact that the Lakers have the worst coach in the NBA. Really stunted his development.

                        He's a good passer who's shown flashes of his scoring ability and can really shoot 3's. The Sixers need that. The immaturity thing is the biggest issue but maybe going from LA to Philly would help.

                          Russell

                          Not sure I would do Okafor for Russell straight up, but I would do Noel and the Heat pick or something like that.
