Wonder how much of this is AD not wanting to play C full time.

New Orleans has been engaged on several fronts to land a center, including pursuit of Brooklyn's Brook Lopez, sources tell @TheVertical.

I'll never understand why Dell values mediocre Centers more than 1st round picks...

Because he is a fricking idiot.

Centers barely even matter in today's game. Guards and wings guards and wings.

Dude gives up several first round picks for Centers.

Source: PHI/NOP trade is close. Deal is expected to include Ajinca & a protected 1st to PHI and Okafor to NOP. Could be done today.

Sad that Demps signed Asik to such a bad contract (for this team)and now trading assets to get a center.

Sixers are Dell's Daddy. They're about to embarrass him again.

Source: Hold up on PHI/NOP trade is Asik or Ajinca and pick compensation, pending which one goes to Philadelphia. Ajinca more likely.

They should have owed us draft picks for the Holliday trade.

That was plain fraud and frick them. That should have been the biggest scandal in sports history

Yeah i think we are over estimating Okafor's cost here. Dell cannot be stupid enough to unload real value for him.

That said, AD and Holiday are playing elite defense, Hill is way above average, Evans is playing it well, too. We could have enough defensively to where Okafor could be a useful piece if healthy

It just doesn't put us over the hump for the future at all.

We need an athletic 3 that can D up and stretch to the 4 against some of the league's better teams.

IMO, this shows a complete lack of understanding of today's game if we end up giving up a lottery pick for a C

Getting fricking real.

Unless they are sending us picks and players better than Okafor.

Oh wait. It is Demps.
