Ah, interesting I didn't know that.

I think thats the difference that might contrast Bebe with Noel. The mental make-up. Noel has something to prove. He got passed up in the 2013 NBA draft because other teams didn't want to risk drafting an injured player. I think Noel takes this to heart and plays with fire for his entire career for being passed up in the draft. To me, he'd be a great addition to our roster even though we have Bebe.

This is literally the exact same thing that happened on the Okafor GIF that was posted.

We're judging Bebe based on some videos he puts out with Bruno now? Who knows what his mental makeup is or how hard he practices.

I just find it funny that people are trashing the guy in here (namely MACK11 and whoever may have liked/agreed with his post) for absolutely no reason whatsoever. That's why I immediately asked for context instead of jumping at his throat.

People have a lot of animosity towards NBA players though so if they get a chance to pounce they will.

You are the no fun police. Taking every thread to seriously for people to actually enjoy.

If you were on the forum long enough to actually know the people posting, you would have all the context required.

Yes to Embiid, Noel, & Okafor; no to Saric.

Wouldn't want to upset bebe too much by bringing in another questionable player onto the raptors.

I just think if we had both players on our team we can have an internal competition of who is the better fit and player on our team. Perhaps i don't know Bebe's mental make up because I haven't seen him play enough but I think Noel will be a tough competitor for his whole career.

Bs10. It wont even be close. Noel will destroy bebe. Bebe if he works out is a rotation player. Noel has defensive all team written all over him.

There isn't a competition here. It would be great if we had both players, I agree.

Yea I agree both would be great for our team. Noel is a defensive guy, first before anything. And the Raptors need more defensive players badly. I hope Masai does a deal to get him over here.

sorry was getting my torch and pitchfork. what did Okafor do now?

Lol I like you your posts always have this subtle humorous sarcasm in them.

[Mess]

It's pretty crazy how much worse he comes off in the GIF vs. the real one.

That's the whole purpose behind the creator cropping the .gif like he/she did. Just to start shit. You edit a 1 second clip and you can make pretty much make anyone or anything look bad.

No way dude. Taking out that few frames and changing the meaning that much is insane. Trust me, I edit a lot of video. That was Haley's Comet type shit.

Bebe actually has Legit potential to be good. Thing is I think he might lack the mental makeup to reach his potential, kinda like T Ross. He spends most of his time fooling around with Bruno from what I've seen

Judging Bebe by his Instagram feed is almost as silly as judging Okafor based on that .gif

Almost

Fair enough, but you can't deny what the intent was.

Edit: And initially I thought it was a little suspicious that the clip was so short. But you know how twitter loves a controversy.

Oh, definitely not.

Three? Didn't the sixer also draft 2-3 more bigs later in the draft?

They have a ton of other bigs as well. Besides Embiid, Noel and Okafor they drafted C Willy Hernangomez (traded), F Richaun Holmes, C Arturas Gudaitis, F J.P. Tokoto, and F Luka Mitrovichave. They still hav C Furkan Aldemir under contract and Henry Sims as a restricted free agent.

I would say Yes to a trade for Embiid but not for JV. I would also trade either Noel or Okafor for JV straight up.

Thomas Robinson could also be had for fairly cheap free agent signing as a solid back up centre - worth a shot in my mind.

I think trob is a 4. I wouldn't mind him but there has to be a reason he hasn't stuck anywhere in the league as of yet.
