Thomas Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thought Philly got the worst of it at first because of giving up a second rounder when they could just drop Okafor but they do save on almost four million with a pretty underachieving Stauskas. His qualifier next year is five million. When Nik is available and hits threes he is not as big a problem but just the same Redick is Philly's guy at that spot now. Its good to just be a spectator on the sidelines with some of these moves quite often though and this one seems like a good example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators AHF Posted December 8, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Depends on price point. Rather have Noel but his demands have been crazy. Okafor needs to show over the rest of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchman Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Brook Lopez II - good low post scorer who doesn't rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okafor....I think he’s going to be a good low post scorer for years to come and avg brook Lopez numbers 20 points 7 rebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted December 8, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I think Atkinson is going to turn Okafor into a player. If there's anything in Okafor's tank then Atkinson can find it. I hate that we don't have him on our staff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turns Okafor into a player, we can now outbid them for him. I definitely agree on Atkinson's developmental talent and miss him here. If Okafor doesn't show well the rest of the season, that will say a lot to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think the Nets got a steal and they are headed in a much better direction now. This makes two high 1st round picks, D'Angelo Russell and now Okafor, they have gotten in the past year. They are getting younger and doing their best to make up ground on all those draft picks they traded away years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shows real potential, another team will outbid them for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not. Okafor is very much unproven. Just as much as Noel. Both could be bargains if they just end up being good NBA starters. If they move up past that, they could be real bargains.

The path to value with Okafor is him sucking this year, getting resigned to a multi-year team friendly contract and then breaking out. If he is good this year, they will lose him to another team. I can't see many scenarios where Noel is a real bargain given his salary demands and play to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okafor's 17 and 7, his rookie year, is what I can see him doing best case on a bad Nets team with limited options. As far as Noel goes, wanting is not the same as getting. Last years free agent frenzy was not big on signing players to bad contracts, like the year before with Bazemore, Mozgov, and a few others. Carroll the season before that. I don't think anyone is going to get stupid with Okafor or Noel. I would love it if Okafor comes to us but that depends on the price. Him and Collins would make for a young front court duo; but I am not hyped about the defense that might impose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my big red flag with Okafor. No range, subpar rebounding and no D is a non-starter for me. He needs to show growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
