Like I said earlier, you are going to probably need to package a decent player with AD or someone like Brown. I can see Rasual as being that guy. I'm sure teams will ask for Julian.Quote:

It's an Okafor/Chandler swap, tommorow per the Charlotte Observer.

I'm ready for the press conference tomorrow...Paul, West and Peja should join Scott at the press conference!
Side note: Okafor is a Byron Scott type of player!

I really think the importance of height is overrated. Say Emeka had was 2 inches taller does that make him so much better? Wingspan and Standing Reach are more importand then height in my view. Emeka beats Chandler in both of these btw.
They discussed some other players but I think it's straight up.
Have any idea who these players were HH??Quote:

i think we need to spend the MLE on an quality/average 5 to spell okafor. armstrong and marks should rarely see the floor if we really hope to contend.
we'll just have to live with the fact that we're an undersized team.
You'll see a completely different reaction to this TC deal from CP, DX and BS. It was always about what they were getting in return. It's almost unconcievable that we're able to pull this off, but I should follow my own advice. More than once I've said that there are so many factors that to into making a deal that fans could never consider or comprehend. It's like the old saying, there's a buyer for everything. In this case you have an owner who wants to sell his team and needs to reduce his liabilities. Acquiring TC gives him the cance to MAYBE get something in return (rather than just giving Okafor away). If it doesn't work out, TC will be a trade chip for them next season...or they can just ride out his deal and be done with it.Quote:

I remember hearing how Charlotte had a real owner now and was so happy to be done with Shinn. George may not be a prize but he's head and shoulders better than Johnsoncat.

how would that help us out paying a backup center 11+ million for the spot of 3 players?Quote:

Dalembert is garbage.Quote:

Like I keep saying, we might be able to move a bad deal if we throw in a servicable and affordable player.
