I still cant believe how many are so down on Okafor ... Hes a 20 year old rookie who averaged almost 18pp with 8 rbs and over a block a game... Bad team yes but the kid can play

Really simple:  Because while he was playing for one of the worst teams of all time, when he was on the court they were worse and when he was on the bench they were better.  His contribution to one of the worst teams of all time was to make them more bad.

again he was a rookie

Shhhh, nobody wants to hear that.

Nasty post moves. NASTY POST MOVES!  ::)
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

If true, find third team to take one of them.

Yeah if this is true find a 3rd team trade Noel and 16 and 23 and get back in top 8 to get Jaylen brown

ainge may have other plans for those picks...

According to sources, the Bucks and Celtics are still exploring a potential deal that would send Middleton to the Celtics. Middleton, who can also play small forward, is coming off a breakthrough season. He averaged 18.2 points and 3.8 rebounds. He is a top-flight shooter, connecting on 40 percent of his treys last season.

One of the trade scenarios, a source said, is packaging Middleton with veteran center Greg Monroe, whom the Bucks have been seriously shopping. It is known the Celtics have had interest in Monroe for a long time.

In return for Middleton and Monroe, the Bucks could possibly acquire two first-round picks from the Celtics in today’s draft: Nos. 16 and 23, along with another player.


This needs it's own thread.


Great if true.

I don't know how reliable that site is, but that's amazing if true.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

monroe only has one year left guaranteed, then a player option. $17m then $18m.

middleton's salary is $!5m, $14m, $13m (yes, decreasing) and final year of player option at $13m.

that is a heck of a bargain for middleton given the salary cap increases coming.

How can salaries match for this trade to go through. I am really curious...

We are under the cap, we can take on more salaries than we send out.

Get really crazy and put these two rumors together:

#3 for Okafor and Noel

#16/#23 for Middleton and Monroe

Then the "other Players" back to MIL could be Amir and Okafor (Plus maybe Jerebko).

So the net deal is something like:

#3, #16, #23, Amir, Jerebko

for

Noel, Monroe, Middleton

Do you do that deal?
