Sixers talking Okafor trade w/ N.O.

Glad they're keeping Nerlens.

They are apparently going after their first round pick.

Only person who doesn't like this is GroundMeat. Thank god and hopefully they get this done. Hell no to eating Asik's contract. Fine with eating Ajinca's. Hoping the pick becomes unprotected after time.

Please make it happen. Okafor is round peg in a square hole with this team...the proverbial tit on a bull.

I love it. Like I said from day 1...He has VALUE. This proves me to be correct. Thanks for playing.

I was hoping holiday was in the deal. I think he would go well with Simmons and embiid.

They think with a healthy Jrue and AD, then can make the playoffs in the West (they might be able to, it's a down year out there at the bottom) so that's why they're making this move for Jah in the first place.

They might lose Jrue in the offseason to free agency, but, they'll cross that bridge then.

I believe he's an UFA. I would love to see him signed to a max deal...probably the only way they could get him.

Sixers are apparently pushing for it... But probably not happening

I read this too, but it doesn't make sense. Perhaps the Sixers believe they could make the playoffs with Jrue...but then no contract come July...

[BIG JAY]

Wait...the trade hasn't been announced because the Sixers are trying to pry Jrue in the trade? And not sure why Jrue signing back in Philly isn't likely...who has more cash than us?

[BIG JAY]

Good insight here...

If it ends up a protected first and possibly Jrue Holiday, Colangelo is the overrated bum I thought he was. This team needs to be moving players like Ilyasova now and let the season play out. If they don't get anything good for Okafor, wait until the offseason.

I agree but there's no way...right?

Edit to add: the FO better be careful in talking themselves out of a trade altogether. If they can get a top 5 protected pick, take it!

lol someone needs to teach you value man and what it actually means. He was picked third and he will net the Sixers in return a pick from 15-20. Secondly, the Pelicans GM is probably one of the worst in all of sports so to answer you, he has shit value.
