He’s an awful GM.Pretty disappointing return for the Sixers imo. I think it’s clear that Colangelo waited too long to trade Okafor.
Nice GIF, pal. Obviously Jah and Nik are just great players given how they dominated the league on the lowly Sixers.
Got screwed? Jahlil didn't get screwed out of anything. This is what I'm talking about with the fans feeling bad for him. Good for him for putting up decent numbers with high usage on a team that went 10-72. Doesn't mean he was good whatsoever. Still has arguably been the worst defensive player in the league since his career started, which is exactly the opposite of what you want at that position. Can't pass or score efficiently either. What good is throwing it to Jahlil in the post going to do for any team in this day and age? He's a complete ball stopper cause all he knows how to do is post up. His game is literally just that, cause he doesn't offer anything else.Okafor played good his rookie year. He just got screwed the following season when Embiid was finally healthy enough to play.
Stauskas too... last season he averaged 9.5PPG/2.4APG/2.8RPG but lost his playing time when they signed Reddick.

Not surprised an OKC fan is defending a ball stopper though. You gotta watch it 82+ times a year.
He lost his minutes to a better player. This happens everywhere, I don't know why Okafor gets all the sympathy from everyone. Still played a bunch in the second season. Didn't look any better.Embiid being healthy did screw him. he lost his starting job and the development/coaching staff likely stopped caring about his development and potentially improving his defensive skills or any other areas he was lacking. He was pretty much left in limbo and it culminated this year when he barely touched the floor.
We'll see how he does now that there is a chance to play more.

This trade was just bad asset management. Why give up a 2nd with him and Sauce just to get Booker? Better off just waiving him.
