    They'd be better off spreading $15 million around on Ramon Sessions, Okafor, Jordan Hill, and maybe if anything is left, Vince Carter in my opinion.

    How big do you want him to be???
    7' tall with 7'4 wingspan.
    240lbs

    What game are you referring to when you label him 'undersized'????

    further confirmation that Asik is worth more than this. We needed to trade Asik.

    We got Asik per year about for as much as we tried to get Gortat for....

    ...ok

    from what i saw on a video on espn. they showed even with pay cuts from everyone (including lebron taking his full max) that they would have enough to get jameer nelson and emeka okafor both at a discount.

    cant believe lebron is going to stick around and play with an ever softer bosh and crumbling wade. if you think you saw lebron frustrated in the finals this year, wait and see how he reacts these next few years in the playoffs.

    he's meant to be closer to 6-10 than his listed height.

    I hope they get both Okafor and Nelson. They're both washed up and aren't goin to be much help.

    A rim protector like Okafor is worth taking a gamble on. Only 31 years old, he's not going to be Okafor of old, but the Heat are only asking for solid 20 minute production from a supporting cast. And he could sign for cheap making it minimal risk for the Heat.

    That is not factually correct.

    He's about to be 32 in a couple months and he missed the entire year last year. Even when he was healthy 2 years ago he didn't do anything. He's a slow, plodding unathletic big that no longer gets up to block shots. He's the definition of washed up.

    The length of the contract is the killer.

    and dwight is closer to 6'9 than his listed height but he's got a 9'4 standing reach, you don't play basketball with the top of your head.

    nobody is saying dwight is undersized
