Who Will Flip Take

[Coolbreeze44]

This poll isn't about who you want, it's about who you think Flip will take. This should be interesting.

Okafor and then a trade up for Tyus

Okafor - Though I would call the Lakers and say I will trade the 1st for Randle and the second.

Where is the option for "The wrong player"?

I think trade should be an option

Towns. Best talent and best fit at the same time for me. I really really like okafor, but you have to go with towns here.

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

I'd like to say/vote Towns because he makes all the sense in the world and would be a great player here, but I have to believe there's fire where there is smoke and I've heard from too many people that claim that Flip loves him some Okafor.

I won't complain about Okafor because he's damn good himself, but I will hope with all my might that he magically gets better defensively and at the free throw line. That's where he struggles most.

In Okafor's defense (not a pun), he is a tremendous low-post scorer who could probably beat all but six centers (Cousins, Gasol, Jefferson, Lopez, Howard, Vucevic) in the NBA today in a game of one-on-one. That's where he makes his impact. He also seems to have a great work ethic, based on his growing post move repertoire and his evident weight loss (Did you see him at the lottery? He looked great!).

I'd also expect Flip to try his best to trade up for Tyus Jones. That seems like it'd be his goal following the top pick.

PS: You know who would be a terrific fit next to Okafor? Nemenja Bjelica...

Towns is the best fit for us. Having young two way players in Wiggins and Towns would make the team really good in the long run. Okafor and Russell are fine.

I've read that the 76ers really want Russell. I would be tempted to see if Philadelphia would be willing to move up to get him knowing you would still get Towns or Okafor at 3.

If Flip is smart he starts playing like Russell is the guy. If he does that, you might just get your cake and eat it too as you suggest.
