amazed this thread was resurrected. goes to show how players can drop in value in such a short time.
CoachBo must be seething after saying this guy was going to be so great and everyone else was an idiot for not thinking so.
I was against getting Okafor at the price being asked for in the offseason. Now, I think the price is a non-lottery first and salary filler from what's been mentioned. I could see taking a flyer on him to see if he'll improve his D and rebounding for a better-run franchise like ours. would add frontcourt scoring (which we could use) and be a live body in the frontcourt who should end up better than Zeller with little effort and better than Amir and KO with any real effort.
just for argument's sake, say we pulled the trigger on that deal and sent out the Clippers first rounder with Mickey, Jackson, rights to Nader for Okafor (didn't check salary in the trade checker). a front line rotation of Horford and Okafor starting with KO and Zizic and Yabu in 2 years might be pretty solid. enough to take some of the load of our backcourt at least.
