76ers shopping Okafor, Noel before Draft

[HornetGuru]

I dont agree. Let's say the Celtics dont want to do it and Murray or Dunn were on the board at 6 - Who do you think the Sixers would want more next to Simmons, Noel, Saric, and Embid - Okafor or one of those guards?

It would be a no brainer for them. The guard would have way more value to them. It doesn't matter who was the more highly rated prospect. They would clearly rather have Dunn or Murray than Okafor. And I doubt there are many other teams out there with a young guard that they like that they would give up for a black hole center who can't play defense

I say they wouldn't do it because they could get a better deal.

Not if they want a top 6 pick this year.

Who's to say the Celtics or Suns don't like Okafor more than the players available when they draft?

[Eman5805]

AD and Noel provide the kind of squad that is versatile and athletic enough to give teams like OKC and the Warriors trouble in the paint.

I just never got good vibes off Okafor. If Embiid could ever play again, he'd be the one I want most.

No one, but you assured me they don't and said the only way to get a top 6 pick is to trade with us, so obviously u know... right?

[Darkhorse985]

The player we pick at 6 will be as good or better than both of those players . No thanks I'm keeping our 6 pick .

This, this, and this.

I'd definitely give the sixth pick away for them taking Asik off our hands. Or...Reke and Asik for Norl or 6th and Asik for Noel. I like the idea of Noel playing next to AD. I remember how exciting basketball was when Tyson Chandler played on this team.

Okfafor is a luxury for us and we already had Noel who I see no potential then being average. I rather gamble on the 6th pick.

Ya if we are talking about trading for Okafor or Noel, we should just take a gamble on Marquese Chriss or Deyonta Davis(both rim protectors).

[Silverfoxx]

It would quite hilarious to get Noel back after we drafted him with the 6th pick in the first place. What is his numbers? isn't he coming of the bench for them and been disappointing?

Or just stick with a guard like the original plan. Its like we are LITERALLY trying to find ways to screw ourselves over?

Ya i agree, but i'm just saying if we were going to trade for one of those two I rather just draft a post this draft. Noel is nothing special and Okafor is one of the worst rim protectors in the NBA.

That's a really bad deal for us, even with them taking Asik. You could take the 2018 first rounder off the table, and I still wouldn't do it.

[pelicans_82-0]

Holiday for Noel and Saric
The Sixers would never do this

I think Asik will be fine as a limited starter. We start him when we play big guys and start oak with smaller teams. I posted somewhere else I'd give Reke, Ajinca, and the 6th pick and a lottery protected pick next year for Oak and 2 late picks this year. Grab the best SG and SF with the picks and a PG and PF with 2 second rounders. Dell keeps most of his core players to start which should keep him happy and youth coming up to keep me happy. Lol. Sign Batum, Parsons, or Barnes then go over the cap with Ryno.

Prince- hopefully there with first

3rd string
Gary Payton III -2nd rounder
Bembry -1st rounder
Babbit
Bentil 2-rounder
Shawn Long (undrafted FA)or Perkins

I love this team and easily doable and if we can't grab a sf resign Jrue to an extension this year with all that money.

[Eman5805]

Sixers owe us one. Should be able to give a damn 2nd rounder for one of 'em.

Or give us Saric who would have been our pick

[UNO Gracias]

Is there still hope for Okafor? I don't think he is a bust, I think he was just in a bad system. If his skills can be salvaged he could be a solid get for this team.

[Mythrol]

I do. They won't trade for Okafor so we would have the best offer if the 76ers want a top 6 pick.

I'm not interested however. I'd rather grab a guard at 6.

[David Fisher]

If the Pelicans could stop investing assets (picks, cap space) in traditional centers that'd be great.

Lol no u do not know, your asuming, but whatever, i already know you're one of those types that always has to be right.

[Lelicans]

I'd actually prefer AD at the 4 and Noel at the 5.

Exactly. Noel is a pure 5.
