Okafor defense is a huge red flag.
Yeah, I don't get why everyone is saying Gentry wouldn't want him, I think it's Erman that wouldn't want him.

Jones at least has the athleticism to defend the rim and on perimeter (sort of).
Also why I see this as a 2nd unit move. That's helped make Monroe and Kanter viable.

smarts/instincts
Anyone expecting his rebounding to improve much, it usually doesn't. I wouldn't be aiming any higher than Terrence Jones with better shot selection and worse defense.

they could be giving up a lottery pick for a guy who can't play significant minutes next to Davis. that's a miss for me
First, the pick needs to be lottery protected if all they're taking back is Ajinca. Second, me going along with this is completely contingent on Jones being packaged with one of Tyreke/Galloway/Frazier for a 1st. I'd rather
Okafor + Ajinca or Asik dump + 2017 mid-late 1st
than
Ajinca still on the roster + Jones leave for nothing + 2018 pick intact to be traded later for someone not even on a rookie contract.

Reading this thread back and the disagreement is for a classic reason: People are answering two different questions.
Does Okafor help you more than Ajinca and a pick that we can't assign to a player right now? Of course. The Pels roster is better tomorrow if this move is made
The people against this trade are answering a bigger picture question about whether this trade puts you on the correct path to be a great team
I'd like the pro trade people to talk about the second question, not the first. How is trading for this guy and what he is likely to become as a player better than keeping options open that could land you better or different kinds of players?
