    So a knee contusion is the same serious injury that caused him to miss the last two years?

    never said it was. i was just surprised that Dr. Juggler called him healthy but he sat last night due to injury.

    and did you see my boy Jameer Nelson got thrown out of the game last night in the first 5 seconds? that is some magic words to get tossed that early.

    He would not be on the court this year if he wasn't healthy, Takes. This is a completely separate minor injury.

    BULLS INQUIRING ABOUT 76ERS BIG MAN AND CHICAGO NATIVE JAHLIL OKAFOR, PER SOURCES

    http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-bulls/bulls-inquiring-about-76ers-big-man-and-chicago-native-jahlil-okafor-sources-nba-trade-deadline-rumors


    HOUSTON — The Bulls have been active with the trade deadline approaching, and they've inquired about the availability of Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor, multiple league sources tell CSNChicago.com.

    Okafor, a Chicago native in his second season, has fallen victim to both a numbers game in Philadelphia and also a changing game, as he's more of a traditional half-court center who isn't defensively inclined.

    He's on the trading block as the 76ers have surged with the play of Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel manning the middle, and the Bulls are interested, as they don't have much in the way of low-post scoring.

    Okafor averaged 17.5 points and 7.0 rebounds in 53 games last year for a 76ers team that wasn't in a position to compete, and with the emergence of Embiid, a true franchise center, Okafor has been glued to the bench more times than not while also battling nagging injuries.

    [SHOP BULLS: Get your Bulls gear right here]

    This season, Okafor has appeared in 33 games and averaged 11.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 23 minutes per game in his second season out of Duke. He was the third pick in the 2015 draft.

    So far, there's more interest on the Bulls' side than the 76ers' side, according to sources, but the Bulls are interested in Okafor's services. Because salaries have to match and Okafor is on a rookie-scale deal, one wonders how it can work if the 76ers aren't enamored with some of the Bulls' young players who've yet to fully blossom. The Bulls could conceivably open up talks to a third team if need be, considering it isn't likely they'd want to part with any future first-round picks as they're still deciding how they are to proceed with franchise direction in the next couple seasons.

    Talks aren't necessarily heating up, but they aren't dead. It's interesting how they could see using Okafor as a low-post scorer while currently having Cristiano Felicio and Robin Lopez at center.

    I feel like turning a top 3 pick into a lottery protected pick would not be ideal, no?

    Nope. Pretty much everyone expected pennies on the dollar though. Not a done deal yet obviously...

    Rumours today of Sixers and Pelicans. Initial talk of Okafor for protected 1st Rd pick and Asik/Ajinta. Now it's expanded to talking about Phi taking Jrue Holiday back in the deal, also possibility of 3rd team involved

    Not sure why Pels would want Okafor, not sure of the fit next to Davis. As a Bulls fan, I don't mind the idea of trading for him. It will be worth a shot and I think the Bulls should blow up the team and start from scratch, so brining in a young PF is not a bad place to start.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    so what do we think, scenario A or B?

    A - Embiid is really hurt (despite Dr. Juggler's healthy diagnosis) but he's a fucking moron for dancing on stage at a concert with a bum knee

    OR

    B - the Sixers are lying and were tanking again but had to come up with some explanation after Embiid's dance at the concert and came up with the miniscus story?.

    with the way this organization operates I lean towards scenario B.

    Alternative facts are not facts. They are falsehoods. In regards to his "health" we were specifically talking about the injury that kept him out for his first two seasons....not the knee injury which sprang up shortly thereafter. If he was not healthy, there is no way they would've let him on the court this year. His foot is fine.

    Clearly they made a mistake playing him against the Rockets. That is odd and not in line with how cautious they've been over the last couple of years.

    If his knee was fine, he'd be playing right now. Better to be as cautious as possible. Great reporting by Derek Bodner on the knee injury, by the way.


    Absolutely love the way Saric is playing lately. Good win last night.

    and now Brown is saying Simmons might not play all year. with an injury a guy on my Hawks just suffered and they said the recovery is 2 months. interesting. Can we change the title of this thread to Quadruple tank?

    A coworker ran into a bunch of the Sixers at Rumors nightclub. He snuck into VIP and was asked who he was. He said he was Stauskas' cousin and Nick went along with it so he could stay in VIP. Simmons wouldn't take a pic because he's underage.

    I think they're just being overly cautious like they have been all along (with the obvious exception of letting Embiid playin the Houston game).

    I told you last year that the process would continue after Hinkie was gone.
