So who has excess bigs? We know Przybilla is available from Portland and Sacramento is stacked enough that someone has to go. Hadaddi is wasting away on the bench in Memphis although I'm not sure if he's the type of player we can use or not.

HEYYY . . .I'm not even going to see anyone until this coming week for lunch or dinner.

Chill. I still have to pry something more specific out of the guy.

There's no way we are paying even decent money for a center unless we are shipping away Okafor in the process imo.

And the list of teams willing to take Okafor has to be pretty limited...

A 2008 Tyson Chandler on this team makes the WC final FACT.

Defensively we'd be very very good.

But TC is not his 08 self. And probably will never be again. But I suspect him to make the USA squad and be a good contributor. He looked good today moving around out there today.

I'd take TC over Emeka right now. Just for pure size and defense.

Who all here has inside sources? Sounds like VOR does. Does anyone else here?

Sacramento has shown interest in Okafor in the past and Portland fans seem ok with him as front court depth. Toronto's front court is terrible and they have the Bosh trade exception.

Have you seen him play for team USA this summer? He's flying all over the place. Looks phenomenal.

I actually think Indiana would be a great trading partner. Think about it. Hibbert is a finesse big man. He's a face up shooter who doesn't rebound real well. But he is 7'2, which would allow Emeka to guard PF's and just rebound. Hansbrough isn't ready to take over the PF position. And Dunleavy is an expiring with a similar contract to Okafor.

A lineup of
DC, Rush. Granger, Okafor and Hibbert. That's not bad.

No I haven't. But that's good for him. I know coach K and he would not take anyone he didn't feel was worthy enough to play for team USA. Like I said I'd much rather TC right now over Emeka.

If sources won't give a specific player as a possibility, it makes me think that a big deal is in the works.

As people say, not much interest in Okafor and his contract. What if its West they try to move? He certainly has more value than anyone other than Paul.

No idea who they are after, but I feel like they are swinging for the fences.

Remember, if it's a trade it takes at least two to tango, if not three or four as we saw last week.

West is the key to Paul's pick and roll's and he's the only post player we have that can draw a double team. He's close to untradeable because there are few trades I can envision where we get a similar post scorer back in return.

I tend to agree. We couldn't get back value for West, especially considering his friendly contract.

Would love to have a real banger like Carl Landry or Paul Milsap.

But those guys aren't as goodbas West. And you're right about value for West and his role in the offense. Just let myself get a little carried away.
