I didn't see this anywhere else in the Okafor threads, so here you go. Just another report showing our unwillingness to spend very much to get this guy. So much for Okafor being worth something like Smart or one of the Brooklyn picks, huh?

I mean this isn't surprising. We got the NBA 2k crowd looking at his stats, but not considering other factors. This guy didn't exactly do to well in his two nights in Boston.

Yeah, and I also see a horrible fit with Horford, too. I think before our acquisition of him Okafor might have been a real target, but I just don't see us giving anything really of value for him now.

Agree.

Noel, on the other hand......

"Word out of Boston" it is then, eh? Seems legit.

if you are going to make snarky comments about it, I would like to know what part you honestly disagree with.

Do you
 1) Think we would give up a Brooklyn pick for Okafor?
2) Give up Brown for him (which by any account, and logic, is a trade we could have made draft night)

Otherwise what part are you disagreeing with?

He is worth that, that is why a trade hasn't been made, Boston has just been unwilling to pay his worth to get him.

Off court issues is a red herring. He has done nothing in Philly or anyplace else except in Boston. Defending teammates against a bunch of thugs.

Ainge is just trying to drive the price down. Pretty obvious.

Most likely about Nets picks. Danny is treating those picks like his son or daughter. He's probably holding out for that 19th? pick he has.

Chances are the Nets will be better next year. Maybe 5-10 in lottery. The year after, probably the teens. Think ahead, Danny. They won't be #3 overall again.

You realize that Vegas has set their win total the lowest in the league at 17.5 wins? It is projected, by Vegas, to be the number 1 draft slot going into the lottery. I would like to know what 9 teams you think have the potential to be better than the Nets next year also. I agree the 2018 is a lot harder to project, but their more most likely next move is to trade Lopez who turns 29 next year.

A trade hasn't been made because he subjectively doesn't have that type of value to the C's. Okafor isn't worth a Brooklyn pick to us, unless they'd take a former Broolyn pick in Young.

Let's not forget that Philly's back is against the wall, too. They literally have no leverage whatsoever, because they legitimately have to trade him before the season or else risk his trade value even more. We've already seen that he's not worth the number three pick to us as it is, why would we trade a future Brooklyn pick that looks to have an even greater chance at being a higher pick for him?

You call getting a gun pulled on him in a club in Philly (with no teammates with him) and going 110 mph over a bridge defending teammates against a bunch of thugs?

Yeah, there's literally no justification for saying the Nets will be better next year when all indications are that they're the worst team in the league, even worse than last year with those below them significantly improving. That's as crazy as LarBrd33 calling Brooklyn a borderline playoff team last summer.
