Before or after we know where the BKN pick lies?

Just feed Okafor the ball down low. The shooters will be salivating for a pass

This team needs a legit inside presence badly.  Even Big Al would do wonders right about now

Y?

Because his game doesn't really mesh with the current NBA model, and more importantly I think we could get somebody much better for the 2016 Brooklyn pick.

No.  I'm not moving that BKN pick right now unless its part of a package to get a top 10 NBA player and even then I might be reluctant depending on the player.

I want to see where that thing ends up.  It could certainly lose value if the ping pong balls don't fall their way but could also see increased value if it does end up in the top 2.  I'm not trading that chance away for someone like Okafor.

Offensively he's not a guy that is good in high PNR and then will clog things up inside for Thomas. If there is one player he would hurt the most is probably Isaiah. He also has a knack for holding the ball too long. He's also a very poor defender, which has been discussed plenty.

I would trade picks 3-6 for Okafor, but not 1 or 2.

I'm guessing the pick will end up the #4 seed.  That has a 25% chance of a top 2 pick and 12% chance of #1.

Are those odds worth missing out on Okafor for Bender, Dunn, Brown, or Poetl?  I say yes.  Ingram looks like he could be a perennial all star and Simmons could be the next great player.  I don't want to spend the next 10+ years thinking about what could have been.  I'm definitely not losing sleep over passing up Okafor for the other guys I mentioned.
