Rumor: Boston/Denver/Philly Trade

[meangreenmachine]

Make it Nurkic rather than Gallo and maybe I'll play, but only if Okafor can play PF.

spoiler alert: he cant.

The main reason Okafor is getting moved is because the 76ers have 3 bigs and none of them can play PF.

Nah.

Was pursing around the internet and came across this link. Make of it what you will.

Basically:
Denver gets:

Avery Bradley

Filler (this was a little unclear)



Sixers get:

Kris Dunn (pick #3)

James Young



Boston gets:

Jahlil Okafor

Danilo Gallinari

Can't remember the source but remember reading about Denver's FO being in love with Gallo and vice versa.  Talked about how rare it was to have a player that's on the talent level he is that talks about preferring to stay with the city and how he loves it in the small market and all that.  This trade would be one of the only ways acquiring Okafor would be palatable to me, but I just don't see Denver trading away a guy they seem to love so much as they do for this.

that would be a win for us imo. Gallo has less pressure in Boston in my honest opinion and he will be more of a veteran presence. Okafor will be a project big man with goals to be a star. Hopefully what we wanted Sully to be but more

If this trade does go through

IT/Crowder (or Smart)/Gallo/Okafor/Amir

if that is the case I want to desperately trade back into the lottery and hope Murray or Brown slides to that spot

Okafor can't play the 4. He'll never be able to.

This deal makes a good amount if sense if it's Noel and Gallo, not so much if it's Okafor and Gallo.
