Okafor was Ainge's Mystery Man?

Maybe this was the mystery man.

"While a league source has indicated the late target Ainge has referred to in radio interviews was Philadelphia’s Jahlil Okafor, Ainge has turned silent on the matter." – via Boston Herald

If we leave this as a rumor, it becomes Schrodinger's Cat. It can be any number of possibilities, and if it can be any number of possibilities, then it was whatever we wanted it to be.

I like the idea of Butler better.

Haha, TP!

I have a feeling the Brooklyn pick is ultimately gonna get traded along with a few role players for Okafor on draft night.

We need a young center to go with with this group.  It's better than howard.

Truly, or facetious? I just can't tell. I am intrigued, though. He fits our timeline in terms of age...

[walker834]

The sixers have Noel, Embiid and Okafor.  They don't work together.  They need guards and bigs who fit together and Okafor  is going to be expendable for them or Noel or Embiid.  Probably 2 of those guys aren't going to stay.  Okafor would be the guy for them to keep but maybe Ainge can talk them out of it.

Okafor?? After the fight in Boston?

[JOMVP]

I'd like to see his defense improve... is he a superstar yet? Maybe Ainge thinks so. I wouldn't give this year's Brooklyn pick for him just yet and I'm surprised Ainge would at this juncture. I'm calling a bit of shenanigans on this one.

Did anyone see the comments by Ish Smith regarding Embiid today? He called him "special" and said he is "embarrassing teammates in practice." We have all seen the pics of his man-muscle, too. Who knows... if he can get/stay healthy, he could be a monster.

Probably better than anyone after pick number 2 in this draft, but I just don't know if he's going to fit our style.

[SHAQATTACK]

I thought he might be the target

if Embid ever stays healthy he is a stud on both ends.Amazing footwork, ability to pass, and defense.

Schrodinger's Cat has no outside game. It's only effective inside the box.

I'll take Pavlov's Dog instead.

Would have been interesting
