Isaiah Thomas had success recruiting Al Horford back at the All-Star Game, so he may well have chatted up Okafor at this Nike photo shoot as well.   Unlike Horford, however, last year's No. 3 pick won't be a free agent any time soon.  Major trades have been known to happen this late in the offseason though...
