     Jamal Murray for Jahlil okafor? The nuggets can model their team from the grizzlies with  jokic and okafor dominating the paint with a solid backup in nurkic. 

    The 76ers get their point guard of the future. He isn’t your typical point guard because right now he’s actually better off the ball but yet he’s still capable running the team. Which to me is a perfect guy to play around Ben Simmons.

     if the nuggets wanted to make that trade they would have on draft night. Mudiay and Murray have the chance to be something special.

       I honestly think Okafor has way more trade value right now than Jamal Murray, and perhaps also more than Mudiay. Though, the Center position is not really where the Nuggets need talent right now with their very good europeans there. There is absolutely no point for them to trade for a non-superstar guy right now. What they need is to unload some of their young talents plus proven veteran Kenneth Faried for an all-star caliber guy. Denver right now has a team filled with quality guys that are not superstars. Okafor could be one in several years but it’s not really much more likely than any of their youngs. 

      On Philly’s side I don’t think Murray makes sense, it is another rookie on a team that is looking to have as many as 4 rookies starting next year assuming Luwawu and Embiid start (Simmons and Saric will both start). Murray, despite being talented is far from proven and has a poor resume compared to Okafor, taken number 2 overall, averagering 17 and 7 his rookie season, all rookie first team, winner of an NCAA tournament as a freshman… Perhaps Murray is going to end up a better player tha, Okafor but that seems very unlikely honestly, and thinking this trade is even is just us overestimating rookies coming out of NCAA like every year.

     The 76ers are really trying to make a move heard on CSN they offered Noels during draft day for the third pick, and Boston declined. Today rumors are out there that they offered Okafor for next yr pick, but the Celtics declined because he has a similar game to Hordfor, and his </pThey have concerns about his playing in the city after being involved in two street fights there in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning. Nor do they like the fact that the center saw a gun pointed at his head in Old City and that he was stopped for going 108 mph over the Ben Franklin Bridge.

Today rumors are out there that they offered Okafor for next yr pick the Celtics declined. Because he has a similar game to Hordfor, and character concerns stemming from his two fights, I think both were in Boston. One including having a gun pointed at him. Also getting arrested for going over 100mph on a bridge.

    Ive spoke to the Nuggets about Okafor prior to him being drafted, they weren’t very high on him at the time.. Dont see that changing now..

     w/ some solid NBA players — even if it is in Limited minutes —- instead of the D-League garabge that surrounded them Last season……

    I really believe Colangelo by trying So hard to be the "Anti-Hinkie" & get Everyone to Luv him has Wrecked the Trade Value…… 

    Colangelo should have smiply said — All 3 are Finally healthy, we are going to take this year to see who is the best fit w/ Simmons……..
