What's new

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

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.
