NBA Draft Rumors: Celtics-76ers Trade Talks Heat Up; Is Jahlil Okafor Heading To Boston? | Boston Celtics | NESN.com
This could be interesting. The Celtics really like Okafor and there are rumors that they may trade their 3rd pick to the 76ers for him. That would allow the 76ers to get Simmons and Kris Dunn in the draft. It would be a good trade for both teams.
I want Simmons very badly.....not sureabout trading Okafor to Boston bc that is something that will most likely come back to bite the Sixers for the rest of his career.
Yup, the 24th and 26th.Yeah I agree because I think Okafor will be a great player. But they need a pg really bad. Getting Kris Dunn or Jamal Murray (who is probably more of a two) might be worth it. Simmons, Dario Saric, Noel, Embiid, and Murray/Dunn would be a good young core. Plus I think they have 2 more late first round picks.
Just focusing on college players that are getting top 15 talk...
Simmons, Sabonis, B Johnson, and Valentine are the only guys I feel confident about. I like Hield outside of his passing. I think B Ingram, J Murray, Poeltl, and D Davis have good potential.
I don't like Jaylen Brown, Labissiere, outside his D I don't like Kris Dunn, Marquese Chriss is unproven, Ellenson is unproven.
If you were the 76er's would you take Russell and the Lakers 2nd pick for the 1st overall pick? Simmons is going to be really good in the NBA but I don't think he wants to be in Philly.
Russell, Ingram, Okafor, Noel, Embiid, and Saric would be a strong young core.
The way he just disappeared in big games or when things didn't go his way, and how he failed to be a leader doesn't concern you at all?
It would if he hadn't played at LSU..... That team is always dysfunctional and its bc of their coach... He works his a$$ off at his game and that's good enough for me
He's a teenager. Leadership and professionalism is a lot easier to learn than the skill set he offers.
