    Okafor's going to be near the league lead on rebounds, if only on his teammates misses.

    15-67.

    The better bet is this - who do the Bobcats unload at the deadline for draft picks because they look better than they are based on playing on a crappy team? My money's on Eddie House.

    Also - that's Ralph's son on that team - isn't it?

    15 wins and the # 1 lotto pick. I still can't believe they got Gerald Wallace. Wallace and Okafur could play a decent 2 man game. But centers usually get into foul trouble their 1st couple years.

    How so? Neither one can hit a jumper outside of 8 feet. Just go under everyscreen & let them shoot over the D.

    This is a good season for them to do a gimmick, like signing up WNBA players or getting Dr. J to come out of retirement.

    They are going to get killed anyways, might as well do something fun. :)

    He rocks, but still, even with the former high-flying Alabama star, they will be lucky, lucky to win seven games next season. Folks, they only play the Hawks four times!

    My prediction is that the Walker-led Hawks will earn a playoff berth next season. You heard it hear first.

    14 wins.
    I remember they picked Fizer too but did they cut him soon afterwards?

    Charlotte should really do an Okafor for Vince Carter trade.

    They're really not horrible.

    Jahidi White/Predrag Drobnjak
    Emeka Okafor/Melvin Ely
    Gerald Wallace/Theron Smith/Tamar Slay
    Jason Kapono/Eddie House/Tamar Slay
    Jaon Hart/Eddie House/Omark Cook

    I mean, if they work EXTREMELY hard, I think they can get 20 wins.

    If they can get Skita off the Nuggets, that would be nice too.

    Okafor/Wallace/Skita would be a big line-up, with somce good scoring potential, while Wallace and Okafor could cover up for Skita's rebounding problems.
