Should have taken slow and methodical.

Look at Utah.

Faried is interesting. He's only 6'-8" but is a good rebounder and likes to bang inside. He's not gonna spread the floor but is capable up to about 10' or so. He's got flaws but I love watching the guy play and he'd definitely take some of those bumps and bruises that AD wants to avoid.

I really would like Faried. I don't know if he could guard the really big 5's in the league like DJ, Gasol, Lopez, Drummond, but if he's strong enough to hold his ground and make them take shots from further than 6 feet from the basket, i'd take that defense.
If you have a center, like DMo, that can start the first 5-6 mintues of the game on that big guy, then have AD or Faried guard that big guy for the next 3-4 minutes, that would be just fine. Just limit how much AD has to guard those guys. Let him do it for 5-10 minutes a game max, instead of 25 minutes.

Yeah, Jokic is already the best passing big man in the league, IMO. Gasol is close.

Denver is just difficult to deal with, because as mentioned previously, they have a lot of solid players and young assets that they should be packaging for a star. We can't really offer them any help there. They pretty much have a log jam at every position.

I'd put Dray above both.

LOL @ Dray above both. Scalabrine would be a top passer in the league if he had 3 out of the top 10 players in the world on his team. Draymond "Snap Chat Professional" Green is the most overrated player. Put him on any other team and he will get exposed. He robbed Gobert of an All Star spot. Compare their stats and try to tell me Gobert didn't deserve the nod over him for an All Star spot

Durant was not on the team last year and he averaged the exact same number of assists as he does this year. Derp...

Also, you have Klay Thompson in your top 10 players in the league, yet you led off your post with LOL

He's played the best on his team but has the worst +/-!

1. Green is overrated.

2. If Green is considered a passing big man then Lebron is the best passing big man and nobody is in the same galaxy.

I am totally down with bringing in Okafor, but a trade ain't including Holiday, Hield, or Davis.

People shouldn't under-value Okafor.

20/8 with 2 blocks. I think you were right, they were showcasing him and trying to drive up the price.

Okafor was playing because Embiid is injured. Or 'injured'.

so probably it was somewhat connected that Embiid missed games around the deadline...
this is called smart management.

As to Denver - they have nice GM. Hopefully such talented guy will work in the No.
Wait. He was in the NO. What a surprise...
