It's already been laid out but Okafor is currently the worst center in real plus/minus in the league. He is already a bit of a question mark in the injury department and his game overlaps AD's along with not being in the mold of Gentry's desired players
Hes also in Philly where who knows what's going on.
The reality is, if we're adding the worst center in the NBA, how is that making us better and win now? If anything it would make us worse right?
Worse enough for a top 3 pick this year and either tanks us in 2018 and allows us to keep the lottery protected pick or helps us enough we're in the playoffs.
I don't see the problem at all.

Context matters. Going after Okafor(and showing strong reluctance to entertain trading Jrue) signals pretty heavily that we are looking to chase that worthless 8 seed.
I don't think Okafor is as bad as his numbers but he is not a very complimentary piece. He occupies similar space as AD but less efficient and he is a poor rebounder and defender. He is basically another in a long line of one-way utility players that when using so many in conjunction have made our team so inconsistent.
If you asked what sort of 5 does AD need next to him in a Gentry offense? I don't think many would say a half court, post player that occupies the same space as AD and doesnt board well or play any defense.
