i'm sure boston prefers noel
new orleans hopefully prefers okafor. they're pretty dumb, and they already traded noel once
you could probably get dunn at #3, but not at #6. could be murray there, could be jaylen brown, who really cares, just get rid of okafor
In this draft Okafor is the SURE 3rd pick. No doubt. So I want more than the THIRD PICK for him. I want Bradley as well.
It's refreshing to see an unhedged NBA prediction around here.no f--king way boston gives up bradley and the third pick for okafor
0% chance
I'd love Bradley and crowder but Boston isn't giving you both guys for Okafor. I'd do it for the third pick but I'm not pumped about getting the third pick in a two man draft. I am pumped about dumping Okafor so if that's the offer, take it.
Sure, same can be said each draft. So how much more value does the 3 pick have than the 6 pick? It's all about getting the right guy and these guys past two all have issues the first two dont. Hence, a two man draft with some depth further down.
Opening Day Lineup (updated):
Simmons
Jimmy Butler
Durant
Nowitzki
Embiid
Drafted and traded for Jimmy Butler.where is Arch??
I compared Okafor and Love? News to me. All I suggested was that, depending on the relative price, I could see BOS taking a run at Okafor rather than giving up more for Love. Okafor is younger, no injury history. Love often injured and not clear to me how many more years he'll be interested in low post play.
Straight up? Thought the Bulls were including Gibson and Noah in the deal.Drafted and traded for Jimmy Butler.
See, that's a comparison.
Only if you are starting a preference for one based on their position, age or injury history.Hey, Shaquille O'Neal was a center. Charles Shackleford was a center. And the first part of their last names sound alike. Does that mean I just said they were the same player? Need to be careful.
So comparing age, injury history and position is not a comparison? That's a direct comparison. You can't compare skill sets because that's not a good comparison if you favor Okafor. No one got anyone. That was an example of being selective in what was compared to make a point favoring ones position.
Typically, but that's not what happened here. These were the factors used and it's a comparison. These factors were used because skill wise Love is significantly better. Thus, skills are not a favorable metric used to make the comparison.
And guys absolutely can improve.They can also become complacent and lazy once they get a little money. In this case, I expect Okafor to gain weight and be what he is: a guy that gets you 18 and gives up 25.I say this because he's a knucklehead.The fact the team who knows him best is already shopping him after one year would lend credibility to this view.
Simmons Camp Told that he will be taken #1 overall. It's over.
