No doubt he will pick up his option.
It is would you rather have Hill at 13 or Baze at 19. And first to use/trade

It would be difficult.
I'm kind of with pawel, when it comes to Okafor I believe in his offensive ability. He's never really played big minutes since his rookie season ended, but his per 36's have always been pretty good (career average 19.8/8.2 per 36 is fine for a backup big) and when adjusting for pace, his career per 100s look good too (26.9/11.1).
The defense is the big question: he's got a career 110 defensive rating, and a career offensive rating of 100. So that's a -10 net, on his career. Partially that's because he's been on awful teams, but we know from the individual stats that opponents shoot 1.8% better than their averages against him overall, and 6% better from 3. On the plus side, they do shoot 4.9% worse within 6 feet, and 4.2% worse when that's stretched out to 10 feet, so he's shown some signs as a rim protector and interior D guy. I just wonder if Erman can actually do something with that, given how much of our defensive scheme relies on bigs coming out to trap, and on occasional switching.
Can he run? It's been so long since I've seen him play real minutes that I can't even remember if he can run.
Basketball.
Worse motor and defender in the league. Only good in post up iso situations on offense. I'd be surprised if he's on an NBA team this year, let alone a team competing for the playoffs.
I’ve been wanting Jahlil on this team. His offensive game will fit nicely but his defense needs a lot of help. He isn’t much worse than a bunch of other bigs in this league and maybe Erman can fix somethings. I think the biggest need from him or Monroe (another favorite mostly because he’s local) for the pelicans is to be able to bang with really big guys. Guys like Cousins and Embiid love to bang and shove so we need a guy or two with a little weight. It’s fine to play Niko or Randle at the end of games on them but let’s get a guy that can go during the game and Diallo isn’t that guy.
Cleveland traded for Sam Dekker. Any sign that this means they're not anticipating keeping Hood, or is this just wishful thinking?
We could only hope. If we ended up with Hood and Jahlil, I think we are almost set. Prob still like to grab Blossomgame depending what we had to give up for Hood. They have a little Jahlil talk on tigerdroppings.
Payton, Jackson Clark
Jrue, Moore
Hood, Miller
Davis, Randle
Mirotic, Jahlil.
So what's the word with Okafor is he coming or nah?
Gotta wonder though if they can play him at PF, they already have Love, Nance Jr, Channing Frye, and TT who play PF either some or all of the time. So either they're planning on another move, or they're gonna be forced just by minutes to play Dekker at the small forward. Or just go into the season with way too many PFs that they know are gonna benchride.
Hood is probably CLeveland's best wing scorer now that LBJ is gone. They'd be nuts to let him go now. Maybe Hood leaves after this season but they'll be smart to hold onto him now.
If cle is smart they would move hood for an unprotected first and a second. Maybe a hill for hood sign and trade? They have to be looking towards the draft this year and next...
Last time Lebron left they sucked for Irving. Maybe they will suck again and we can loot them lol

What does Silverfoxx know about insider information?

Lmao alright Silverfoxx, I see you.
Instead of Okafor I would of rathered we gave Greg Monroe a 1 year 2.2 million dollar deal like he just got with the Raptors. You would think he would of came here for same since it’s his hometown.
It was all about role.
Monroe knows that he can get only minimum.
So he wanted to have a role (third big) for a contender.
Dont have data if Dell was interested.
But in February Dell was mad that Monroe had chosen Celtics.
