Horrible contract for horrible contract.

Who says no?

Stern?

For us:
Clears the backcourt glut some more and adds the defensive big to pair with Monroe.

For them:
Solid scoring punch off the bench and helps them form a new "Gordon & Gordon" marketing campaign. They added Kaman, just gave Jason Smith a 3 year deal and still have Carl Landry.

Sure we do it... just not sure the Hornets wouldn't want younger talent, expiring + pick in return.
I think they can do better than our chucker.

Maxiell + Charlie for Okafor?

How about anyone not named Monroe, Knight, Daye and Jerebko for Okafor?

They can pick the combination...

Prince + ???

BG + ????

Stuckey + ????

Nova + ????

Since Prince and Stuck just were re-signed, we can't trade them for a few months, IIRC.

Time is the one thing we do have.

This roster as currently constructed is not going to do anything of note. If we have to wait 30 days, 60 days or 90 days who gives a fuck?

Joe should be on the fucking phone calling every GM in the league asking what they'll give for Stuckey, Prince, Nova and BG

Monroe and Knight are the only 2 that should be safe...

I agree on the last part, but would include Jerebko (and our soon to be 2012 lottery pick).

I just think that GMs are really in "trade mode" right now, so deals can be easier to make before the season gets rolling.

I'm also concerned about Frank getting off to a slow start with this similar/same cast from the past. What's Joe gonna do if these guys jump ship on the coach AGAIN?

Hopefully, hit the unemployment line for his 99 weeks of government paychecks.

I do this trade in a heartbeat, especially if Dwight goes to a Western Conference team.
(Dwight just destroys Okafor -- it's like a personal mission with him.)

Okafor becomes even more expendable.

someone said Okafor was a DNP yesterday
