Okafor back on philly after saying bye to teammates?

Here are a list of sites to NEVER believe :

METRO
Yibada
iTech
The Inquisitir
Christian Post

They hold no actual source and just try to regurgitate whatever small rumor that may be out there..

Okafor would be great here, playing for Brad Stevens. Evan Turner was a BUST before he got here.

But KD was also "spotted" at Logan a day before he signed with GSW.

Inquisitir and METRO, you have NO IDEA how many Jimmy Butler and PG13 rumors I hear out of those sites.

Sad part is, quite a few Celtics fans out there actually believe it and get all hyped up lol.

We play Philly tomorrow. I dont suspect this means anything.

He was told not to go with the team to Charlotte on the team plane for their last game and it would be pretty weird to send him by himself a day early to Boston for a game he wont play in.

It makes plenty of sense.

Philly is near a trade so they keep him home. Philly team flies to Charlotte. Talks break down. Philly must now fly to Boston. Okafor is still in Philly, so he must fly to Boston by himself.

I would be pretty surprised if they make him fly to Boston for one game prior to the all-star break after he has said his good byes to the team staff and members of the organization thanked him. Obviously anything can happen because this whole situation has been bungled. However, you certainly can't act like any of this is standard operating procedure. He may be rejoining the team after they said they were holding him out for trades and he said good bye to everyone and make him arrive earlier than the rest of the team.

They also could have traded him to a team that has the most assets in the league.

I'm honestly not sure which one is more likely/unlikely at this point.

I bet you a TP he isnt traded here. What do you say?

You can have a tp for kicks and giggles. Obviously the possibility of any trade is like 1% so you are taking a pretty safe route saying he won't end up here.

Thats right I am!

Yeah its extremely weird for a philly player to be flying to boston when philly have a game against boston tomorrow....not

maybe spent more time researching details of the situations and less times try to make dismissive comments? Yes it is extremely weird for a team to send a player they have told they don't want to play or travel with the team and didn't take on their previous game after he said good bye to teammates and staff to a game with them. It is actually unprecedented. Now does this really mean anything in the grand scheme of things if he is here or not? No, but this is clearly a more a complicated situation than a guy just going to a city with his team and this kind of dismissive stuff adds nothing to the thread.

From some of the rumors on the twittervers he's already said his good byes this weekend to teamates and personal behind the scenes. So he's in Boston for a reason.

BUT, there are also rumors Okafor for Rondo. Not sure why the Sixers would do that. Makes no sense if Simmons is going to be the point forward, unless they think Rondo with help teach how to be a PG in the NBA, which will be egg on their face if thats the case. That being said he could be in Boston waiting for the Bulls to come to town and hitch a ride back with them.

BUT he would just be on the bench and a possible distraction, so him going to Chicago and waiting would have made more sense, so maybe he Is coming to Boston....

UNLESS they don't want to give it away until it's a done deal, so he could be going to Chicago....




He's probably getting traded to the Pelicans.

I am familiar with Yabada, the Inquisitor and Christian Post. I would not have shared anything from them. I had not seen metro before either on here or in my normal searches so did not know a lot about it. If it is like the others that is fine we can just lock the thread. Their site does look a lot less ridiculous than the other one's mentioned.

I'd say Metro isn't a reliable site but compared to the other's, it comes out looking a bit more realistic.

Like Yabada and Inquisitr practically come out saying "this trade is about to happen"..

[Csfan1984]

Maybe he is catching the direct flight out of Bos to NO lol

For what it is worth.. i believe he is actually in Boston

If he is just joining the team tomorrow that is one of the most insane things I have ever heard.

They pull him from the lineup
Tell him to not fly with the team to charlotte
Elton Brand thanks him for his contributions to the team in a tweet
He says good bye to teammates and the training staff

Then they just have him meet in boston? What the heck. That is a horrible way to treat a young player.

Some info for those that chose to mock rather than be informed

I am pretty sure they have a direct flight from Philly to New Orleans OR Chicago.

But the C's/Bulls game is IN Chicago, not Boston

There are no details of the situation. Merely murky assumptions and the rumour mill which means very little.

Looking at Okafor's game log there are large chunks of DNPs and then large chunks of games played. Until anything concrete surfaces, you have to assume a Philadelphia player in Boston is in Boston to play the game tomorrow against Boston.

Okafor would be great here, playing for Brad Stevens. Evan Turner was a BUST before he got here.

But KD was also "spotted" at Logan a day before he signed with GSW.

He averaged 17pts-6rbs-4ast per game for Philly in 2013-2014 before getting traded to Indiana.

for a second round pick.

He was then not even offered the QO.

He was a bust.
