| Okafor could be amnestied? Posted by drake20  on 5/5 at 3:47 amquote: NOLA.com Reply • Back to Top |
| Ugh.. I'm so torn on this issue. One on hand, he is just not worth anywhere close to what he is making. But it is so much money and they don't really need the cap space. If I was the GM or especially the owner, I'd be real sure before I made the move. Is there a chance the injury is severe enough that it could end Okafor's career? Insurance would cover the balance of his contract or at least a portion (it'd be off the cap). I wish there was a way the team could prove that. He's obviously not the player he once was.

| The thing with Oak is that, what are we going to spend the extra money on? We could free up all that cash and, do what, overpay another mediocre center to come here? I don't think there should be a rush to amnesty him, make sure that there's someone worth a shite that you can replace him with or upgrade another position. Even after we extend Gordon (assuming it's a max contract), we aren't going to be that close to the cap unless we decide to keep either Landry or Kaman.

| Spend the money on Dragic, Gordon, and sign Kaman to a reasonable deal. Get Trob in the draft and another big (Jones III). Maybe Rivers. Reply • Back to Top |
| That's a lot of money due Oks way. We've been trying to dump him for a while. Probably we do it and get someone else here Reply • Back to Top |

| I can't see Kaman being around next year...he will probably get more money than we should be willing to pay...imo, it will be Okafor or someone new, or both. Reply • Back to Top |
| Monty said Emeka will play with the young guys over the summer...am i mistaken or does he mean the Summer League? Reply • Back to Top |
| i doubt okafor plays in the summer league...probably just means offseason activities Reply • Back to Top |

| If we get the #1 pick and another top 5 you can say later to Oakfor Reply • Back to Top |
| per Gil McGregor's chalk talk before the Walrus was fired, the original plan was to have Mek at the 4 and get a true big at the 5. He said that Mek was out of position at the 5. Mek was much better definsively imo this year with Kaman at the 5 prior to Mek's injury. Reply • Back to Top |
