A lot of people have Okafor as the odd man out but he still hasn't been traded

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/...dd_gerald_green_keep_tyler_zeller_other_movesAccording to league sources, Danny Ainge is still very much open to making deals, but the process on anything larger than today's transactions may not begin in earnest for weeks, if not months.
The Celts would obviously love to get their hands on Russell Westbrook or Blake Griffin, but, as reported here earlier, such negotiations have been non-starters. In each case, Oklahoma City and the Clippers would need major assets from the Celtics or any other team to pry loose the star, and with each potentially an unrestricted free agent next summer, the risk would be too great to seriously consider.
Westbrook's contract runs out after this year, and Griffin has an opt-out in 2017. Though Griffin is in line for $21.4 million in 2017-18, he will likely exercise his option and sign a longer term deal.
According to the GM of another club that would have interest in the two, it is a near impossible situation at the present time.
"You'd have to give up a ton to get either one of those guys, and maybe when you look at it, it's something you'd do," he said. "But you really can't, because there's no guarantee you can keep them after this season. You can't take that kind of chance. And with the way the cap is going and the money that's out there, it makes no sense for guys like that to sign an extension now. They'd be costing themselves too much money."
It's possible the Celtics and Philadelphia could revisit talks for Jahlil Okafor, but, according to sources, those talks appear to have grown "stale."

I'd imagine a lot of people say this, to Embiid.Don't be an ***.
Hold the tears until the season's over and we know if Embiid finished the seasonI might shed a tear watching Embiid, Ben and Dario on the court together this year
Avy is beautiful bruv
pretty good offensive wise, but not so sharp at defense. hard to say whether people will want him or nerlensLol no one wants him?!?!A lot of people have Okafor as the odd man out but he still hasn't been traded
I never messed with migos until recently and now I'm a huge fan.
Not getting takeoff tatted on me doe
Good pick up for Boston. Streaky shooter but when he's on...he's on.
If Bosh doesn't play this year the Heat are winning 30 games at the very most.
Why would Boston take Okafor when they have Horford?
Two years, $14 mill for Tyler Zeller? I always liked him but he doesn't get any PT from Brad Stevens. We'll see. He may start along side Amir Johnson
the knicks are a super team now huh
Duncan is waiting on line, not in line.
