Okafor cant possible be as bad as the Sixers are treating him.
He's only 22 and has proven he can score in the league.
He's not too efficient at it but he can do it.
Keep him around and give him minutes off the bench.
Yall aint that good that you can be this picky.
 
If Kanter can be an effective big, hell even Al Jeff at 50 years old was still productive off the bench, then so can Oak.
 
It’s all good , Oak can learn from this ...feed off the rage burning inside and become a better player , make the 6ixers regret their action ........

Or he’ll be out the league in a couple years , we’ll see :lol:

NBA RUMORS: SIXERS GM BRYAN COLANGELO OVERVALUING JAHLIL OKAFOR, UNABLE TO FIND A TRADE PARTNER
JB BARUELO


Since last offseason, it’s crystal clear that the Philadelphia 76ers were already willing to move on from Jahlil Okafor, the third overall pick of the 2015 NBA draft. Unfortunately, the Sixers are still unable to find a trade partner for the disgruntled big man. Is Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo’s asking price too high for other teams to give up?

In the absence of Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor had the opportunity to show the fruit of his hard work in the recent offseason. In the Sixers’ loss to the Toronto Raptors, Okafor posted 10 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks on 57.1 percent shooting from the field. However, the game was the last time Okafor wore a Sixers’ jersey.

On Friday, coach Brett Brown announced that Okafor is no longer part of their rotation. Amir Johnson and Richaun Holmes will now be battling for the spot as the primary backup center. According to Chris Haynes ofESPN, the Sixers are collaborating with Okafor’s agent to find him a new home as soon as possible.

As of now, there are no trade front-runners for Jahlil Okafor. However, Jack Maloney of CBS Sports believes there are several NBA teams in the league who’re willing to give Okafor another chance. However, the success of the deal depends on the Sixers’ asking price.

“While Haynes’ report noted that there are currently no front-runners for Okafor, it seems likely that someone in the league would want to take a chance on him. Though his career hasn’t gotten off to a good start, he’s clearly a talented player, especially on the offensive end. The question just becomes, how little is Philly willing to except in return?”

Though it’s hard for the Sixers to accept, Okafor’s trade value isn’t high as it used to be. Recalling in the 2016 NBA draft, the Sixers had the chance to trade Okafor to the Boston Celtics for the third overall pick, which they planned to use to draft Kris Dunn. Unfortunately, the Celtics didn’t proceed with the deal after the Sixers asked for more in return.

As of now, it’s hard to imagine that a team would be willing to give up a first-round pick for Jahlil Okafor. His trade value tremendously dropped since he suffered multiple injuries and lost the starting role. If the Sixers will consider moving him for role players and second-round picks, several NBA teams will surely make an immediate move to add him to their team.


Sixers probably still trying to grab lottery picks after the dummies killed All of his value.. a contending team need to throw a package and have him come off the bench for them.

All you been doing is proving my point about how sensitive ya'll are in here about your favorite players. I don't give a **** if dudes disagree with me. It is what it is. It's sports talk.

I haven't addressed you since the last time I told you I wouldn't, yet you think I actually care about what you say. Proof of why I don't. Fam you legit look at facts in the face and still try to argue against them and because you have a few other geniuses that also refuse to use their brain you really think you're doing it. No. The only reason I, and probably others, even entertain these narratives is because it's funny as hell to watch you scramble back and forth depending on who the player is. When you could just be like the sensible ones in here and use *gasp* facts to back your opinions. I don't think about anything you say. I like to make fun of what you say. Because it's stupid. I'm done though. I'm sure the next time I reference someone's buffoonery you'll think it's about you and not just in general.
