We should give the Sixers a second for Okafor

Hold out for them to give us a second to take him

What about this one:

Okafor and Brooklyns 2018 2nd rounder

for

Ajinca and Diallo

Pels get a big more likely to help this year, plus they offload Ajinca and take another crack at an early 2nd round pick next year

Sixers get the type of backup big they'd actually like in Diallo and get rid of the Okafor drama. Ajinca becomes an expiring contract for them next year that they can use in a trade.

I guess it would all come down to what the Pels think of Diallo. I've always liked him but he's not gonna improve without consistent minutes and that won't happen with Gentry coaching for his job.

Yeah, I feel like people are going to come in and say not to trade Diallo, he has so much potential, blah, blah, blah

And he does, but I just don't see how he develops it here.

He's a guy that can score, and is an expiring, and saves us $6M for next offseason, and gives us a little over a $1M in savings right now to get us further away from the tax line if we need to sign a filler player later this year.

I'd rather all of that than Diallo's potential, and i am one that has said repeatedly over the last few years that we need more young talent via the draft, and i'd like to ship this young draft pick we've seen for two years out for basically salary savings.

Something like Ajinca/Asik/1st to Chicago for Mirotic or RoLo and then Diallo to Atlanta for the Rockets 1st?

That would be wonderful, although i can't see Diallo fetching a first, even if it is a very late first.
If i were Atlanta, I'd rather have the 30th pick than Diallo.

The one I would like

Asik, Ajinca, Diallo and first

For

Zbo and WCS

Gives you two different kinds of bigs depending on the situation.

I don't think there's a chance in hell you get WCS back and dump Ajinca/Asik. I don't know that Diallo has much value around the league. I'd be thrilled if he did, but I'm not sure why anyone would see him as a future starter right now.

I've only seen a few minutes of Nerlens but the dude looks more lost than Diallo. Freak athlete though, and better than nothing at all, but I'd rather Okafor.

Always in for more Wildcat front court players. WCS would be awesome.

This has me baffled as well. He has shown very little up to this point. He kind of gets dominated down low when he's in the game.

Can you? A team like Sac has to by definition overpay to get him to sign in the first place. Maybe the coach helped the deal not be that bad but it seems kind of pricey to me.
