Jahlil Okafor has got to be traded right? That front court is pretty crowded in Philly. Has anyone heard any rumors of
where he may go?
nothing yet mate but if he can be added to raptors or hawks might much better those teams already went to at least play offs series if they can add him
up this young guy will show  up more.

well i think we all know he aint happy in Philly. He wasn't happy when they drafted him lol

He definitely has a potential to become a very good player.
he is a strong player he can be a star on its owned just needed some good back up support and coaches that can enhance him more
the talent is already there maturity and team play that all he needed.

BULL RUN until 2030
July 26, 2016, 08:44:34 AM
Who said Kawhi - Westbrook trade first? That's bullcrap. Popovich never give up Kawhi and Westbrook is Oklahoma City legend already. After Durant's departure he's the only franchise superstar, he would never leave now.
The inevitability of losing Westbrook in free agency is looming so better find suitable trade partners for him than experience the same thing with Durant's departure to Golden State. Unfortunately, rebuilding is the only way to go for the Thunder and Westbrook will not be part of it. He could be gone even before the season begins or before the trade deadline in February.

If Westbrook goes too it's officially over for Thunder organisation next 5-10 years. They were so close to win the championship last season, only if they didn't mess up 5th game in Warriors series. Now they lost Durant and Westbrook is the only franchise player they can rely on. I don't really see a rebuilding process from that short time.
I would not really care if that happens to them because that is a great advantage for my team spurs, we know in the past that the thunder is a strong rival for the spurs and now that they don't have durant and possible westbrook also, the spurs can easily battle to the west finals.

Best Prospect on the Sixers: Simmons or Embiid?

Embiid is the better prospect. As a Philly writer put it last month, if Embiid is entirely healthy then the pressure on Simmons to be a superstar is lowered. Embiid is the center piece. He was expected to go #1 over Wiggins before injury concerns.
Simmons will have the better season. Embiid isn't expected to play the 2nd of back-to-back games and I'd expect his mins to hover around 20 per game. I'd expect a 15/8/6 type season from Simmons. Embiid's numbers are unknown until the front court logjam is fixed.
It looks like farewell for Nerlens Noel already as you said that the Sixers' frontcourt is just too crowded. With Okafor and Embiid manning the inside, this Sixers team might be on the rise. They are full of potential but how far can their youth and hopefully enthusiasm take them. And is their tanking really over?

Yeah they must trade Nerlens Noel. I can't see that he will become an all star. Maybe a role player because he is not that strong as a big man. He's like Taj Gibson.

Exactly, I can't see Westbrook staying with OKC after this season. They better get something for him while they can.

Absolutely the only way Westbrook stays is if OKC signs a superstar, which probably won't happen

And i think okc is now on it's elapsing era. Without even winning a championship ring. But i believe they too can rebuild after some time. Westbrook is still young and there will come a time where he could get a reliable teammate. Not necessarily a superstar but maybe he can teach some one to become one.
Rebuilding will take a long time to make the result happen, just like what happen to the celtics they have rebuild when they let go or garnet, pierce, and rondo, even allen. Look at the season after the rebuilding, they are still adjusting and it was just now that they are playing good but not really a championship contender team

It will take them long years to get the perfect blend and great execution and really celtics is the bwst example for that  there not even retain there championship status now sinxe their maij guys are now away and playing for different team thats why i really dont like rebuilding teams it can easily be broke by those establish team with strong build added superior roosters.

Im pretty sure GSW will dominate this season and make their opponent cry.
Can't be sure mate, there still the spurs that were just underrated to compete in the playoffs. They will surely have no problem in reaching in the finals because the OKC that is their threat is not that good in the this season and so the warriors and spurs will face the finals and I hope to see an upset here.

In behalf of the Warriors fans, we are sure that they will defeat the defending champion with a little boost of confidence from Kevin Durant. Yes we know Warriors choked sometimes, but we are expecting more from them to play more seriously and regulate on relying to shoot 3's since this is one of the reasons why they lost.

I just hope Westbrook will just stay in the thunder, they could still get someone who could partner westbrook and I believe that westbrook is a talented and he has so much to improve. Let's just accept that thunder will not be good for playoffs this year but they are still fun to watch.

Kawhi and aldridge is the future of spurs i don't think that they will  trade any one of them as we see how fit kwhi with coach pop and alridge already getting his rhythm add pau and the inside is already solid if westbrook will just be added and no trade i think it would be a deadliest team ever assemble.

I read an article about exploratory trade talks involving Russell Westbrook and the Spurs. But according to the same news, the trade talks fizzled out real quick because there just couldn't be an agreement made between the two teams that's both viable for them. Names of Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge were mentioned but talks did not gather a lot of steam to really push through.
if this rumors went thru i think spurs would be unstoppable you have kawhi aldridge and gasul plus parker and ginobli or wesr, strong spurs needs a quick runner and can filled by westbrook.
But these are merely rumors and I don't think the Spurs are going to give up Kawhi or LA for that matter. There are also other teams who have shown interest in Westbrook, like his hometown of Los Angeles. I don't know of the Lakers can persuade him to play for them, but the Clippers have the better chance with their more solid line up. I would still love to see Westbrook land in Boston, where conference competition is not that tight, compared to the Western Conference.

I wouldn't trade Kawhi for Westbrook, and lets not even talk about Kawhi + LA trade. That would be simply ludicrous.
Even if that trade happened I can't see Westbrook fitting in the Spurs' system, and he definitely would NOT change for Pop.
Spurs would never let go kawhi, he is a complete package type of a player and the spurs needs that kind of player to improve his defense. Once defensive player of the year and now already improving his offense, Lebron was even lucky he was not able to face the spurs and his Kryptonite Leonard.

I agree 100% with you.
Pop is too smart of a coach to let Kawhi go. When Pop traded for Kawhi everybody thought he was crazy
