Marc Stein: Jazz-Warriors discuss pre-Lottery trade (Source says trade "likely")

[One Brow]

How true do you suppose that thing was?

No idea, and I did not engage in the million or so (no, I have not actually calculated the true number of rolls a proper investigation would require, it's just a guess) rolls it would take to find out.

I would take a Jefferson for Okafor with nothing else involved.

I just want Jefferson gone.

You normally are one of the smartest people around.

However I disagree. I would rather have Al over Okafur

I'll tell you off the record .. what I 'think' I know.

It would be very nice of you to share with all of us PKM.

We all love and respect what you bring to the board

Man ... Just looked at Okafor's stats (both individual & +/- oriented). I think I'd be extremely cautious about taking him on. Supposed to be a defender, but seemed to have worse D stats than Al this year. Too often injured. Has shown virtually no improvement since his rookie year. All signs point to a player who's not that motivated about to reach 30 years of age.

Yes, that is why the Hornets would consider giving us the 10th overall pick in a strong draft for our 18-22 in a weaker draft. You have to take some back negative to get something positive.

Was this writer Lillard's mother?

Not his mom, some guy that has covered NBA since 1969. He was the guest, but I missed his name. It was on 1320 just after the draft. He said that Lillards reminded him of Tyreke Evens but bigger (I don't know if that is true) and a better shooter. Said that Charlotte needed a dynamic player to build around and Lillard was only dynamic player after Davis.

Also, I think he would still sign a max FA with Okafor on the books?

If we got Okafor the only contracts we would have for 2013 would be the four young dudes (plus the cheap contracts of Carrol and possibly Evans, and possibly whoever we draft in the 2nd round this year) plus Okafor. We could still sign a max guy like Harden (I think), and have Okafor expire in 2014 so we could re-sign Favors and Hayward.

Does that work out? Someone who likes looking at #'s and doing math look at it.

So it was his dad? Charlotte should go with Jared Sullinger (good fit next to Biyombo) or Thomas Robinson (Millsap plus size and better athlete, possibly even higher motor).

We can agree to disagree. (Okafor is not offensive minded player and still plays hard when he doesn't get touches. Better ball movement equals better team. Addition by subtraction.)

I'm going to assume you haven't really ever watched him play and definitely haven't watched him play lately.
