How a guy can be criticized as "damning" evidence for something he didn't actually do is beyond me, especially since we have no details at all.

People are insane, man.

Well, you ARE the guy who was saying that unsubstantiated rumors about players that Neil may, or may not have been interested in, would damage his reputation. :dunno:

no chit, especially now that they have Tiago Splitter! Is Embid even playing or is he out for a while again?

Doesn't matter, Embiid is the future, and they have Saric at PF. They also have richaun Holmes, a young and cheap PF. If I'm philly I'd rather pay a starter like Crabbe 18m than a backup like Noel.
 
Noel would be very intriguing, his defensive ability is top notch! I wonder how far his offensive game can grow though. That being said if you can get him then please do.
 
One thing about Noel though is that he's an RFA. Portland would have to dump salary for sure if they get him.
 
Pup and others, the only problem I have with Noel is he's an RFA, the damn Nets could do the same thing with him that they did with Crabbe - offer him a huge contract. Nets will likely trade Brolo now or this summer, so them making a big offer for Noel would not surprise me at all. Therefore I prefer Okafor because of his contract
 
Grabbing drinks with some peeps but will try to stay on. Have a text out to try and get more info on Philly but haven't heard back.

We'd essentially replace Crabbes contract with Noel's. I believe Noel can start at PF, and slide over to center when Nurk is out.
 
Do the sixers have enough room to eat Crabbes contract?

Yeah, I said IF they are true.

That's really interesting. You might be right. Could you please point me to the part of this sentence where the word IF can be found?

These reports of Chandler and Okafor are really hurting Neil's credibility.

These reports of Chandler and Okafor are really hurting Neil's credibility. After the Nurk trade I has back to being cautiously optimistic about him. But if he prized Chandler and Okafor higher than Nurk, then that's just additional evidence to lump in with all of his awful Free Agent targets that he (thankfully) mostly whiffed on.

I bolded it for ya.

Eliminating Nurk from the equation, leaving just the Chandler rumor - if true, that's damning evidence against Olshey. I like what I saw from Nurk, but if that trade was never made, and his name was never mentioned, I'd be irate at any acquisition of Chandler.

I/we don't know if Olshey's interest in Chandler was true or genuine - but if it was[/B], if he prized him above Nurk and/or Okafor, he's got to go. There are just too many instances of Olshey targeting a crap player as his top priority.

Here's another one.
 
How the fuck could he prize Okafor higher than Nurkic if Nurkic is a blazer and Okafor is still on the market?

Except.... there's zero ambiguity in your opening statement.

"These reports of Chandler and Okafor ARE really hurting Neil's credibility. "

Am I misinterpreting the underlying context of your words?

Okafor > Nurkic
Nurkic + Pick > Okafor

That could be how he saw it.
My issue isn't with Nurk/Okafor, it's with Chandler. Valuing Chandler over either of them is asinine.

Because the opening statement is the end-all, be-all, and there's no other context in which it exists. Once again, way to out yourself as having little to no reading comprehension skills.

Or...... Neil was using Chandler and Okafor as leverage to get that pick out of Denver. Because.... you know...... negotiations and all that silliness. :popcorn:

Yeah, that's certainly a possibility - and I hope that it's one that's closer to the truth.

Okay, I'm going to break this down for you Barney style.

What I said:

"Well, you ARE the guy who was saying that unsubstantiated rumors about players that Neil may, or may not have been interested in, would damage his reputation."

What you said:

"These reports of Chandler and Okafor are really hurting Neil's credibility."
