Im not sure he's better then Lewis at this point.


============

Hamilton with another monster game, 33 points on 25 shots plus 18 rebounds, 11 offensive. Guy can score.

Pretty much. He's basically Battier with ball handling skills minus defense

okafor on the trade block. This is getting better and better.

"Trade" block. Miami have nothing to trade. The only valuable pieces went to Boston (Phillis draft pick).

Only hopes are a buyout.

No.

[mademan]

Oden, Cole, Beasley, Ennis plus this years pick and the MLE to spend...youth and athleticisim is key around the big 3, imo.

No.

Actually, It is kinda a step in the right direction for us.

1. If healthy, I would love to add Okafor. Could be a very nice fit.
2. If someone trades for him in order to save money (because his contract is insured) , he's more likely to get bought out after the trade because the team that got him made a financial move, not a basketball move.
3. Nobody knows if he could get back on the court this year, but if he can, you've' got to think we'll be one of his preferable locations.

It will take a few breaks to go our way, but much stranger things happen in the NBA.

I feel like I've addressed this ad nauseam. Miami will not trade for Okafor. Miami will not sign Okafor. Okafor will not be released ahead of the deadline. He is damaged goods. If he were worth something at this point, a deal would have been made for at least his contract by some other team. You can continue to push this guy all you want. If Miami even looks in his general direction, I'll be shocked. It's not happening.

^ If you're calling Okafor "damaged goods" after being injured once for a few months, I wonder what you called Oden and even Beasley.

(no need to reply, I don't really care since you clearly don't understand trades and NBA finance)
