Nah, the okafor-Noel experiment was bad. Noel can really only play next to a stretch 4

Defensively they would have to do it anyway, true. If they trade Jah they should get Simmons but if they trade Nerlens then they should lean towards Ingram

If you get Okafor, you have to have the perfect storm though. You need a defensive C like Whiteside or Biyombo and you need to trade Randle. It's too difficult, I'll pass.

Meh

Its a good deal IF the lakers wanted to tank one more time

They got cap room to sign some decent talent though

Okafor biyombo is a terrible combo btw

Biyombo cant spread the floor

But how could we tank if we give them the rights to our pick next year as well

A defensive player that can't shoot just puts you exactly where philly was with Noel and okafor.

You need a floor spreader

Okafor is not all world, but he's better as a rim protector than he gets credit for

Nah, Jah can't play PF, that's part of the reason he and Noel just don't work together.


The type of PF you need next to him would be like Millsap, Draymond, Kristaps, Ibaka types who can defend quick guys and also spread the floor on the other end.

It might not.

Boston may get better offers than Jah.

Philly is fukked if Boston doesn't offer the #3 because who else would offer a high pick this year for him?

I don't see the 3rd pick in a 2 player draft getting much more then a Okafor level player

Phoenix maybe?
