In spite of the source, there is a kernel of truth here - Jefferson and Okur are a good complement on offense, Okur can go out to the three point line and leave plenty of room on the low block for Jefferson to go one-on-one with his defender. Also, having a lineup of D-Will, Bell, Miles, Okur and AJ will discourage opponents using zone defence, again giving AJ every opportunity to "get nasty" inside.
On defence, well, let's hope that AJ is serious about wanting to improve that aspect of his game. IMHO he is an upgrade over Boozer already, if for no other reason he is willing to admit 'D' is his weakness and he needs to improve. If Bell can still stay in front of his man, that will help on that end too. In fact the Bell signing is another example of getting a perfect complement to the existing roster. For example, I like this defensive line-up: AJ, Millsap, AK, Bell, D-Will. And that's a line-up that can still score points, too.
