Would you trade the #6 pick for Okafor?

I would be for it if I knew we could get rid of Asik

I would consider it, but he's had off the court issues. I'd also want them to take Ajinca.

So you are taking a top pick from last year that would be a better potential fit vs. taking someone that doesn't fit. He averaged 18/7. I mean I wouldn't overpay, but if it basically the pick for him that would be a win for both parties.

They take Asik and Reke too and we can talk. Not big on Okafor but would love to get rid of those two and i think Okafor can anchor a 2nd unit offense for 10-15 mins a game when AD is off the court

I mean who are we getting at #6 that is a better fit and as talented as Okafor. Why should those others players be added if they are considered bad; however, I could see the sixers liking Evans if they aren't Dunn.

id do it even if we cant get rid of Asik. He's better than anyone we can get at 6. and we need young talent desperately. He's not even 21 yet

Let's flip the script from last time. We give them #6 (or draft the player they want) for Okafor and next years 1st. Would be nice if took Asik too

What the hell is wrong with them, the 76ers truly baffle me. Instead of counting on a sure thing with Okafor, they want to roll with Embiid.

Yes to Okafor please

Chris Ford is speculating that they will trade Noel or Okafor. Strictly his speculation.

Something do with "fit" with Ben Simmons.

How does Okafor "fit" with AD?

Isn't Okafor an Al Jefferson type of player. Offensively skewed post scoring big? I think the better question might be how does he fit with Pace and Space. AD will fit well with most other bigs.

Yes i would.
Although like others have said, i'd like to get rid of someone with it. I'd give Asik away for nothing. Ajinca for a second rounder. Reke for a late 1st.

Yes. That's him exactly. Low-post player, great offense.

The Pace and Space question is interesting. He's a below the rim type of player.
