#NBA source: #Sixers 'gauging interest in Okafor' around the league.

I'll be surprised if they trade him before draft day, but this is interesting.

at least Philly is finally trying to improve---maybe they can win a few more games...and pass the Nets.

I think they're looking for a godfather offer, and if they get one, they'll take it. There's likely nothing to see here.

Would you trade the Nets pick for Okafor? Million dollar question

No.....for Blake Griffin yes.

interesting question. to decide you would first have to ask this series of questions:

- would i rather have simmons or okafor?
- would i rather have ingram or okafor?
- would i rather have bender than okafor?
- would i rather have dunn than okafor?

wash, rinse, repeat. if you answer yes to the above questions, you make the trade. if not, you dont.

I'd happily trade the Nets pick for Okafor...Okafor along with Towns and Porzingis are top 3 rookies this year and definitely in contention for ROY. He is a great scorer and I think he will continue to improve

You can't say that Philly is trying to improve on this blog!

Well, MCW actually won ROY and I would not have made such a trade during his rookie season.

The problem with Okafor is what we do with him. Does he end up like Monroe in Detroit due to being a poor fit?

I might gamble....he could shape up some under a tighter run ship.

well MCW is still a solid player in my honest opinion, but no I wouldn't make such a trade for MCW, but for Okafor...in my honest opinion, he's more...I think he is able to provide more long term compare to Sullinger. He has good footwork, can post and rebound. It's a gamble, but I'd take it

Lets say Philly asked for the BKN pick and some crap filler

Jahlil Okafor

I would do that. I love Ingram/sim dog and think he is super special, but the chances are not in our favor, and Okafor is a legit big that can get a lot better.

2 things in his game that can improve:
1)FG%: many of his misses are actually blocked shots. This is somewhat common and he will learn how to avoid getting blocked so much, say what you want he has a high bbiq.
2)Blocks:He blocked a lot of shots to start his career and then slowed down. He has it in him to get more blocks

I wouldn't be too sure about that.
