Celtics trade Crowder for Okafor and Holmes. I love Crowder's contract and versatility, but we're sill short on big men. With this trade, the celtics have a rotation of:

IT/Rozier
Smart/Brown
Hayward/Tatum
Holmes/Morris
Horford/Okafor

This team is deep and young, and maybe we dould add a guard at the MLE, and maybe we could add zizic or picks to entice Phily.

Would you do this if you were Danny?

I wouldn't be surprised if the 76ers cut Okafor at some point. He is behind Holmes, Embiid and Johnson on the depth chart seemingly. That being said, the 76ers won't trade their only two young backups behind a guy that has played 31 games in the last 3 years because of injuries.

Yep, especially for a wing.  I mean they have Simmons, Covington, and their young prospect Luwawu-Cabarrot.  Crowder just doesn't make a whole lot of sense for them.
