Okafor > Nurkic
Nurkic + Pick > Okafor

That could be how he saw it.

I am not sure who is better between Okafor and Nurk, my only concern was if management liked Okafor more they should not have let the 20th pick in the draft changed their mind. Always take the better player.

Of course like others have said, who really knows the truth. Only Blazer management really knows for sure how they valued the two young centers.

Apparently Portland trying to grab Noel from Philly before Indy talks intensify for Okafor.

Can you verify this, pup?

That would be amazing

 

[Scalma]

Dame
CJ
Harkless/Aminu
Noel
Nurkic

That's how you hide our backcourt defensively. Would be great.

Isnt it to crowded in the frontcourt? Also, 3/4/5 outside shooting would be almost non existent (and i really like hark)

Isn't it non existent currently?

 

[PDXFonz]

Good point being made about needing to dump salary in order to retain Noel if we got him.

I'm a fan though and would be jazzed if Neil made a move for him. DPOY potential.

Crabbe for Noel works & wouldn't hurt us financially

I'd like Noel more than Jahlil, but I doubt they'll get either. Tho it would be nice to have either.

I'd rather have guys who know they can't shoot 3's but are happy to feast on easy buckets inside, rather than guys who are mediocre but trigger-happy outside shooters.

It's probably Crabbe and a first and I'm guessing Philly is asking for ours while Neil wants to send Clevelands.

So meet in the middle and send Memphis's

But really i think it will take a lot more than that to get Noel

Lots of O's, Damian wears the letter O. O no, Dame is being traded...

 

[Trackjack]

Philly going to wait the last minute to trade Okafor and maybe Noel. Whose ever has the best offer at that time will be getting Okafor and maybe Noel.

 

[Trackjack]

Remember Crabbe can refuse any trade right now so that might a deal breaker to trade him.

No way Crabbe says no to Philly, he gets his chunky trade bonus and he gets to start and immediately becomes their best wing.

I think it would be fine, and our shooting in those spots would actually be improved overall. Maybe not from 3, but in general. Plumlee was less than zero as a shooting threat, and teams dare Aminu to shoot us out of the game all the time...

 

[Blazinaway]

Coo loo coo coo coo coo coo coo

a trade with "Toronto"? The great white north? Aminu or Hark for their pick and/or piece?

 

[julius]

after watching that, I just now realized what "keep your stick on the ice" meant

 

[Blazinaway]

yeah it increases his payday by 11 mil over contract

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Remember Crabbe can refuse any trade right now so that might a deal breaker to trade him.

It's moot. Crabbe would only get traded to teams he'd start on, which I'm sure he'd jump at.

 

[Nikolokolus]

God, what an underrated movie!

 

[Blazinaway]

I wouldn't mind Noguiera at all either

 

[Trackjack]

I was only was stating that he had that option.

Nah, I think our first is worth Noel.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Nah, I think our first is worth Noel.

I want Noel over Okafor for sure but our first isn't worth anyone outside of an All-Star if we aren't pretty sure we can resign them. You don't hand out a top 8 pick (where I think we will be) for a 30 game rental.

 

[Trackjack]

Philly is trying to get a great deal for these guys and they might end up not getting trade either one of these guys.
