Why does 76ers want to get rid of JahGOAT Okafor so bad?

[keep-itreal]

why?

He's a great player, best post moves in the NBA and he's just a rookie!

[Spurs m8]

We should take him

[DoctorP]

I still think he is going to be really good

[Akrazotile]

I guess cause they have like 20 recent lottery pick big men on their roster

[hateraid]

Who says we want to get rid of him? It all depend on what team you're trying to create and the player's personal wants.
He is still our best player until proven otherwise. But when you're in last place anyone is expendable. Your best asset is always going to be the talk of any trade rumor. This has something that's existed since the beginning of sports

i like oak and his moves but he doesn't fit in today league :/

[FreezingTsmoove]

I dont think Philly execs even watch 76ers basketball games

Seeing the things Jah can do on the court at 19/20 years old was simply unbelievable

His post moves highlight video was insane

[PejaNowitzki]

[Spurs m8]

why?

Because he still buys into this small ball hype that got put to rest in the finals.

He'll catch up

[keep-itreal]

We should take him

I've been saying it since last year. He's perfect replacement when Duncan retires.

He needs better defenders around him

Those stories are not coming from the Sixers. They are coming from other teams (example: Danny Ainge) trying to get him in a sucker move.

The line is "The Sixers have too many bigs...they MUST trade one of them".....

Sixers don't need to do anything until 2017....when we get our guard from the draft.....and Lowry from Toronto.

Because back-to-the-basket big men who have zilch for athleticism or defensive ability aren't of any use in today's NBA. No one cares about post moves anymore.

Today's bigs need to be able to shoot from outside and/or defend the rim. They need to be comfortable on a team that can go small ball at any time, too.

Okafor is none of these things. He's a young fellow with an attitude problem whose rookie stats show only that his team is so bad that he gets a lot of opportunities to touch the ball, thanks especially to Embiid sitting for two seasons. 10-15 years ago, a guy like Okafor would be a jewel on any team...not anymore.
