    Nah. I rather go with what the team has and just add Dalembert and roll with that. See what the team can do and if necessary make a trade on the trading deadline.

    That's not even enough to get Okafor's garbage.

    I hope NewOrleans use their amnesty on Okafor. He is originally from Houston and if we can sign him for MLE, we will have a solid center who can block and rebound. I like him.

    If NO trades him, that means they are trading his contract and don't want future salary back in return. That would rule out Scola. And I don't think he's worth a Kmart. So unless we can get him for Thabeet, Flynn type players (meaning they're just dumping salary for non assets), then I guess. But even then, that contract....

    Yes...that's the point I was making. Stern made it clear that he doesn't want heavy contracts back that the other owners will have to consume. Thats why NY #1 , budinger and goran dragic etc... should be enough but you never know. Stern may ask us to throw in Calvin Murphy's widow peak
