76ers are open trade Noel/Okafor..can we get a sniff at Nerlens?

[TheGreatYacht]

The Spurs can only offer garbage so from a Spurs fan's perspective, it makes total sense. Bundle up all the players you don't want on the team and ask for their best player/prospect/highest upside potential player in return. Then, make up some silly excuse why those laughable scrubs would benefit the other team to justify your moronic claim.

One day, if the Spurs ever actually stop stockpiling garbage, they might actually have an asset worth trading for.

I blame Pop. Tries too hard to prove that he can pile a bunch of and win. Overplaying scrubs, giving Kyle more than 1 minute of playing time instead of making him fetch Gatorade, benches Kawhi and LMA so they can be well rested for training camp, etc

Besides Tony and Bruce, Prime Tim Duncan always had pathetic players around him.

I mean everyone talks about the red flags Oden had, and Noel's are way worse. I think he missed a year and a half of HS ball. He missed the season his year at Kentucky. Now he is the guy who might give you 65 games in the NBA in a reasonably healthy year.

Well this should lower the trade value for him then?

[ducks]

noel for lenoard

[mo7888]

Yep, if you want one of those guys you're probably going to have to give up Parker.

Done

Agreed

[TheGreatYacht]

Get the deal done.

[Obstructed_View]

trade kyle anderson, he was a "lottery talent" claims 90%of ST

There are probably less than 13 players from his draft that are better than he is, so simple statistics say that he's a lottery talent.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Get the deal done.

PJ was available?? !!

He more than made up for Pop's shortcomings with Xs and Os during the former's time with the Spurs.

[SpursFan86]

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but wouldn't you go after Okafor and not Noel?

I'm not a big fan of Okafor's game at all. Think he was the epitome of "empty stats" this year. His biggest strength is his post game, a skill that's becoming less and less valuable in today's league (unless you're a Diaw/Gasol-esque passer, which he isn't). He's an awful defender and a mediocre rebounder. He doesn't have a very reliable jumper and because of this he's practically worthless without the ball in his hands. Granted, he's still only 20 years old. He could certainly improve on a lot of these things, but regardless, I'd lean towards Noel over Okafor.

Don't think either of them are realistic targets though. Philly will either want a top 10 pick or an established all-star caliber player...we don't have either (obviously Kawhi/LMA aren't being traded).

[spurtech09]

Theres no way the 76ers are going to give up Okafor......

This

[SilverSpur]

Trade our current garbage and rights to overseas players we will never bring over or never sign.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

If the rumor about Boston being interested in Okafor at the deadline was true, then they could do worse than a Okafor - for Boston's 3rd pick trade. Boston may need to add a little something but they have a ton of picks anyway.

[TrainOfThought5]

Yep, if you want one of those guys you're probably going to have to give up Parker.

Even Better.
