rip/sheed for jrich or geraldwallace/emeka

whoever we get frmo char, we get rebounding for sure. jrich is a pretty good rebounder because he's bigger than rip. emeka obviously is a better rebounder than sheed but hes got no post game, but then detrtoit never had any post points anyways.

[WTFchris]

if we bring in Emeka, then Max has to go. Can't have those two playing together up front.

I'd rather do Sheed/Max/#29 for Emeka and #9 (would they do that? If not a future pick could be included).

use #9 on Jordan.

[BIG BEN'S FRO]

Chris, I actually think they would consider that, and honestly I would consider that a steal. We would get a chance to land two future starters. You can't go wrong at #9.

How much $ to you give Okafor then?

How much $ to you give Okafor then?

less than what he's already turned down, especially after his '08 campaign...

[Glenn]

How do you know that he'll take less? That would be the reason that Charlotte would deal him, wouldn't it?

I don't know that he'll take less, he probably won't because then he would be admitting he made a mistake last offseason. I just don't think hes worth that much money, long term...

Sergei took less to play out west for Anaheim. Maybe he values winning more.

[Glenn]

So do you do a deal for Okafor and just "hope" that he'll take less?

[WTFchris]

You'd hope he wants a resonable amount to be here and you work out that before making the trade.

Worst case is you make the deal regardless and he wants big money. Does he find a team with big money? Who knows. Maybe you work out a S&T after next year. Maybe he just walks. In that case you got a one year rental for Sheed. If he doesn't sign an extension, you can work out a deadling deal with him I guess.

I don't know. It wouldn't be the first deal I do, but I'd rather take the chance on Emeka signing and the #9 then stand pat with Sheed and Max when I know neither provides a long term post solution.
