Pau Gasol and (sort of) Bynum too. The Marc Gasol/Zach Randolph combo could have won a title if the front office had done more to surround them with shooters.

The entire concept of anyone being a bad fit next to AD is somewhat absurd. Transcendent players fit with everyone.

First, you have to question if Memphis was ever really a contender. Second, AD and Okafor's usage rates are much higher than Zach and Gasol

And you are right, nobody is a bad fit with AD. It's the difference of ideal vs good. In this NBA, AD is gonna finish games at the 5 unless you have a guy who can defend with mobility and hit the mid range shot who is 7 feet, 250+ next to him

So if given the choice of adding Okafor, who likely wouldn't finish games, and a guard who would, it would probably be wise to go with the guard
