I'd slow my roll on Okafor "carrying" the Sixers to within 2 of the Spurs.

He's not as bad as many seem to think, but he's not that good either

ETA- it's like saying Jones carried the Pels to a win over Cleveland ergo he's a very good player

All of Green's stats were better last year because now KD takes up any touches he might get. All Draymond does is one dribble then pass to the wing for an open shot. He passes to 3 out of the top 5 pure shooters in the world!! and you give this man credit like he is magic Johnson???
He needs to stop jawing at KD too, I don't care if it is some tactic to fire him up. KD would destroy Draymond in every aspect of the game so shut his mouth and play his role as a one dribble then pass player. He is only effective on D because his teammates have his back so he can roam for steals.

I guess this is kind of the trade thread.

League sources indicate Orlando has begun pursuing trades for a rebuild. Last night's loss dropped Magic 6 games out of the playoff picture.



So the Magic are now sellers, and I guess rebuild means not resigning Ibaka.

I will gladly take Fournier off their hands, as well as Vucevic.

Kind crazy that they traded away a young talent in Oladipo as well as a rookie who may have a future in Sabonis for Ibaka.

Yeah, their GM from the much praised OKC Model has been pretty terrible.

Also of note, like Chad pointed out as being suspicious in the injury thread, Moore is out for "personal" reasons. He's a solid player on a decent contract. The kind of guy playoff teams with no future cap space or aspiring playoff teams that aren't FA destinations like to trade for.

Teams I could see wanting Moore:

Chicago
OKC
Detroit
Atlanta
Charlotte

Not sure what Moore could bring in a trade though.

Chicago has been a motivated seller of Rondo for a while before the incident a few weeks ago. Jimmy Butler is a bit disgruntled and hates all the young guys getting minutes. Everyone from the coach to the FO is on the hot seat so they are the kind of team that makes bad moves.

Moore and Frazier for Rondo and a 1st (or several of their young guys that you could flip for a mid 1st from another team)

Tyreke, Ajinca and the 1st from Chicago to Denver for Nurkic

Nurkic, Rondo and our 2018 pick to Orlando for Fournier and Vucevic.


Can you get a 1st from Chicago for Moore/Frazier is a question. Also, is a mid 1st enough for Nurkic and taking on Ajinca?

I've thrown out what I think is a realistic trade in the past, Galloway + Jones for Jason Smith and Washington's 1st. Add that pick to the mix and maybe get Barton back from Denver too?

That fulfills the "trade picks for young vet center/SF" and lets you keep your 2017 pick which you can use to take the BPA and replenish some of the depth you just traded.

That all sounds great, but not realistic. Would love it though.
