No one floated this idea....   Would Boston do it?   Would Phili do it?

We send the 1st rounder (potential top 3), Jackson and Zeller

We get their latest 1st rounder, Noel and Okafor? 

Noel could walk......so we would end up getting Okafor and a potential top 10 pick.   


I would have to say yes...   But I can Imagine Phili kicking our ass in two/three years, Noel walking.  Okafor being a empty stats guy and Danny drafting the wrong guy at #10ish...

Noel and Okafor can't play together well in Philly so why trade for both?

 Maybe

. Okafor
 Horford

 And

 Noel
 Horford would be a better fit.

Do you mean highest like their most valuable pick?

Then yes, only on draft day, if the pick is top 4, and then flip okafor for some of his value that we keep hearing about on this blog.

Nobody needs both Noel and Okafor.  I think Philly has made that clear by now.  We don't want both.


As for trading our pick for theirs and some added value ... I'd like to wait until we know exactly where our pick falls.  If we get a top 3 pick I would prefer to keep it unless we're trading within the top 3 or 4 spots.

I would hope that losing Zeller for Noel and Al playing together.... Amir and Okafor feastin on the second unit would give us depth.   KO getting some too.     

Let Amir walk next year.....     Sign these guys in place of a Max....(KO/Noel)     AL/Okafor with Mickey and Zaza  rounding out the bigs.

Yea no problem. And to answer your original question, absolutely not. Okafor has almost no value now, Noel is decent but due a huge contract, and no way Im trading out of the top of one of the most stacked drafts in awhile.

In a vacuum it's an ok deal but Noel and Okafor can't play together, we'd impede all our cap space in the summer (as I assume we'd be re-signing Noel) and our pick is likely to be 3 or 4 spots higher than theirs.

If you want Okafor I believe he can be had for less. I can see a trade of KO and Rozier for Okafor happening at the deadline. Potentially alongside another trade that gives us a shooting big man. Okafor is cost controlled and has upside that makes him appealing in years to come, but his trade value will never be lower than now

Amir and Okafor on the floor together would be disastrous.

What if the Philly pick ends up higher than the Brooklyn pick in your scenario?
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Bad trade. No need to trade down to get two guys that cant play together and one of which could walk at season's end.

I think no wins this trade.   Philly needs veterans.   If we had the number one pick maybe after a top three but Philly would hang up laughing.  Even then I am not sure it is a good trade for us.

Pros:
Zeller is gone
Flyer on Noel for 2 million
A talented decent big man on a cost control for 2 years at 5 million

Cons:
Losing out on a potential franchise player that needs playing time..


This is a good cost control team for 2018:

 IT, Badely, Jae, TR and Smart
Develop Brown, Mickey
AL
Okafor
#10 Pick

Resign or let Walk
KO, Noel, Amir and JJ

No. Neither Noel or Okafor are going to be more than good players and the best Sixer pick smells like 4-6.
