screw the agenda. If you can get a guy like OK4 you do it.

Exactly. As long as you are getting pieces with contracts that pay them what their worth, any piece is moveable.
Its the albatross contracts that are the problem.

That's what I'm saying Fish.

Also, I still think we would be able to maneuver some salarycap space in 2010 even with Okafor.

OK4 and Curry together?

I don't see why not, he makes up for Eddy in rebounding and shot blocking and protects the rim, if Mike is smart Curry will be a limited maximized offensive weapon for 25 minutes a night, similar to what they wanted to do with Shaq when they got him with the suns. Then he can shift him over to the five for spot minutes a night. Opening time up at the backup four for jefferies occasionally or to be honest I like this look.

Okafur/Curry
Chandler/Gallo
Q/Balkman
Crawford
Duhon/Nate

I think thats a solid rotation, and i wouldn't buy out marbury he is going to be dangerous in a contract year, players like him always are.....

ok4 is not a max player. buck williams never got the max and he could actually hit a free throw
the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

Okafor is one of the players I would like to get the most, BUT (ignoring the fact that we don have assets to get him), we have to remember that we have D'Antoni as our coach, and unless he surprises me, I dont remember watching in his team any player like Okafor getting a lot of minutes of playing time.

too injury prone for the dollars he'll command, & his offensive skills have not developed at all since he's been in the NBA... he's a nice shotblocker but a guy putting up 14 & 10 is not worth near max level dollars.

i'd offer up Curry, Lee & Nate for him but that won't get it done.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Yeah, that would be worth offering but I doubt it would get it done. After contract extensions to Lee and Nate, that package will cost far more money than giving Okafor a max contract would.

Does anybody here think OK4 is lazy? He appears to coast in my opinion. He often looks disinterested. He's not a very smart player either. He's just a role guy.....yeah he's great statistically but I dunno about him.

He's also played for a ****e team though too. No one looks good on a ****e team.

But Emeka isn't a me-first ******* like Z-Bo, whose attitude contributed to the team losing as much as it did.
