Haven't been following this thread, but this info should make you feel better about how important the draft is

No played selected in the top 5 of the NBA draft in the last 10 seasons has won a title.

"for the team that drafted them"

I don't get the hate on Philly for taking Okafor? With the questions surrounding Embiid it works, a Noel/Okafor frontcourt really will mesh together well.

If Embiid ends up fine then you've a young, supremely talented trio of bigs that are on cheap contracts for a few years that are pretty good fits together IMO.

Target a PG and see what happens and don't forget that Dario Saric will be coming over in the coming years.

Actually it doesnt work at all. It pretty much means either one of them is coming off the bench which wont go down well or means Okafor plays the PF role which he will get killed cause it will mean he will have to come out and defend outside the key and he cant do that at all.
Noel will have to get traded which wont happen so this makes zero sense

Probably looking to add Brian Roberts to the slim PG stock in Boston.

Totally could have taken that deal and probably still drafted *******.

By ******* do you mean Frank "6 picks" Kaminsky?

Okafor and Noel aren't a perfect fit, but Noel's the one who'll play at 4 like he did pretty much the entire second half of the season to increasing success. Especially when he's guarding less imposing bodies and can switch.

Will all three be playing together 2 years from now? Probably not, but the trade value for an elite defensive big man and one of the best offensive prospects to come out of the draft in years will be strong.

Had like 48 hours to think on it all and I'm cool on it. Next season will look weird, but Okafor will be fun. It's set for 2016 with 4 first round picks and Saric. By then the team, needs to look like a team. But until then it's all good.

If i were u guys i would be building ur team around Okafor. This guy offensively is brilliant.. apart from FT shooting.

Yeah that ******* guy.

Perhaps they will if Embiid doesn't get healthy. But right now Okafor has the most trade value.

 

[tigs2010]

Yeah that ******* guy.

Thanks for that by the way.

1) it allowed us to get Winslow
2) if you'd made the trade I reckon we would have taken old "6 picks"

Lol. Porz was actually the best pick I reckon. I agree with their choice.
