Philly trade idea

[Park Bites]

Considering our lack of bigs this year and the glut that the 6ers have, what trade could we put together to get either Noel or Okafor?

Okafor- is a great low post scorer but doesn't play defense.

Noel - good defender that lacks offense.

Burks would probably be a center piece. (If he can come back and play) my guess they would ask for hood but draft pick next year burks and mack

I like the idea in theory but don't think its feasible. There's a significant $$/cap issue here and with Jah a defense issue..

Noel will be looking to go to the highest bidder this summer, and it could get pricy, and they've got Hayward and Hill to deal with and then 3 big FA's in the summer of 2018.

We dont have a lack of bigs, we just have an injury. Once Favors comes back we are going to be just fine in the big category.

This, but if for some reason they were willing to trade Okafor for Burks and GS or OKC first that would be a good trade. Okafor coming off the bench would be okay, he is still young and can score. Plus that would help with our cap situation going forward for a couple years. I dont see why they would give up that fast on Okafor for that little.

I really hate Okafor. He wouldn't be good on this team. Dreadful defender, terrible body language, and can't set a good screen to save his life.

There are some things I dislike about him but I think on a winning team he will play a little more defense and play a little harder. I like his offense and is going to get better, he is really young. The thing I dont love is matching him with Lyles. That is a lot of inside outside offense but no defense. Okafor is a decent rebounder.

I'd be all for Burks and filler for Noel. Not for Okafor though.

 

[Cappy_Smurf]

We can't afford Noel, and we don't want Kanter, er, I mean Okafor.

Ehh, maybe, but I just dont like him at all. I think Lyles is the better player.

I know a lot of people complain about Withey, but the fact is when we are healthy he doesnt even play. Best way to upgrade that position is through the draft, we don't need to trade for any high profile players to become our 4th big man. I especially don't get the idea of trading our 3rd wing (Burks) to upgrade a position that won't even get 10 mpg when Favors is back.

Yeah but what about during the weeks in between the 3 to 5 game stretches when he is healthy, what then?

 

[Eminence]

I'm still on board the Holmes train, I'd rather have him than either of those other guys.

Much cheaper to get as well.

This. It was obvious before he was drafted and is more obvious now. My buddy's a huge Sixers fan and loathes him.
