I think Okafor is worth a shot at the right price.

I feel we have a coaching staff that can turn him around, making him into a solid rotational player, plus he's still very young.

It would be nice to have a young center around to get mentored by a player like Horford, with Big Al not getting any younger.

Who knows what he'll be in a few years.

I don't get Okafor at all not even a little bit. All the silky smooth offensive moves in the world but just does 0 else. Almost like he's not interested in doing anything but scoring the ball.

Watching him again in their first preseason he just watches the ball makes no attempt to get it. He's either calling for it or watching it. It is so blatant how disinterested or timid or whatever it is he lacks.

I get why people are hyped on him because if he does ever figure out how to get his motor going and play some D he'd be one nasty dude to have at the 5. But he's not so let's move on.
ok fine

The price is unreasonable because he makes $5 million.  We can't match that without sending out key players.

Plus, it's obvious that Ainge and Stevens want their big men to be able to shoot.

When did the Sixers sign Emeka Okafor.  It was weird seeing Okafor in the box score twice.
A couple weeks ago.
I think he's just a camp signing. He may still not be on the final roster.
Probably but statistically it looked like he can still play (I didn't watch the game at all).
Neither did I but I did see the stats and I'm with you. If he can still play, I'd take a shot with him at the minimum.

I gotta give some credit to Emeka Okafor here, he did not look like he had 5 years of rust.

I did watch the game and he looks like a cagey vet bench guy not a washed up old guy. If the Sixers don't keep him he should have no problem earning a role somewhere else.

Jahlil Okafor on the other hand needs to stop committing flagrant fouls in the pre-season.
