Let's not look at his contract for a second......

[theNBAnerd]

this.

not sure what it will take for fans to realize it, but AK >>>> anything we could reasonably get in exchange for AK.

 

[dantheman]

I would rather have AK, he can shoot and play some perimeter D, and would get as many blocks as Okafor anyway. One of my big reservations about Okafor, other than his contract, if that he has a rep of being a guy who doesn't love the game. I think you have to have a certain amount of passion to win a title. If we could trade him for Okur, then maybe.

 

[D Will> CP3]

ONLY IF the Jazz would have traded AK for T Mac the Jazz would have had 24 mil off the books this summer. Sure Tmac is terrible but it would have been a great salary dump. We also wouldn't have beaten the Nuggs too cause T Mac is a 2nd round virgin(Besides in 2009 when they made it to the 2nd round but he was hurt)

 

[Upside]

Newb here. I'd rather have AK as well. If the Jazz doesn't have to give up anything, contract isn't an issue, etc, then sure I'd take Okafor.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Okafor is a bum.

This. Okaturd would get eaten alive by Bynum and Gasol.

I say we trade Okur for Okafor straight across. Have Millsap come off the bench.

https://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2cxr8r6

Okafor - Millsap - Fesenko
Jefferson - Millsap - Fesenko
AK - Miles - Hayward
Bell - Miles - Hayward
D-Will - Price - Gaines

Puts us over the cap more this year but its a better scenario financially next summer than trading AK for him. Millsap will still get his minutes. Millsap of course will play PF when in the game. Remember Okafor has a very long wingpan and he could easily play better D against the lakers than Okur can.

Of course I am not sure the Hornets would do it. We would have to include something else but if they wouldn't accept a 2nd round pick than I wouldn't do it. Its fair in my mind because of Okafors bad contract.

Hornets Want Okafor Included In Any Paul Deal (Hornets obviously want to unload Okur)

Knicks wanted a shooting big man.

 

[D Will> CP3]

I like the ideas but i'm sure the Hornets might want more than basically Randolph and Danillo, but maybe not.

That is not bad.

First disclosure: haven't seen much of Okafor playing. (I'd be interested to know how many JazzFanz have.)

But he does seem like a Jazz guy--characterwise. And I believe that DW can make him a better player than Chrissy could.
Because CP3 is an injury-prone wannabe carpetbagger.

Okafor been healthy for three years. That's the good news.

The bad news is that he's not much of a scorer (about 12 per 30 career), he's a bad FT shooter (then again, so is AJ), and he shows low on the +/-.

Oh, and his contract is huge.

IMHO, adding EO is not an improvement worth the cost.

Jefferson, a healthy Okur, and a semi-focused Fesenko is the best 5 rotation that the Utah Jazz would have ever had.

Jefferson/Fesenko, Millsap, and Kirilenko is a very respectable defensive frontcourt that can score, too.

Hey, something we agree on, precisely.
