I don't think 2nd rounders, Craig Smith, and Telfair gets you a sniff of Okafor. In fact I know it doesn't.

I figured we would have to trade our first plus filler to get Okafor.

I'd give Miami's pick, Boston's pick, one of our 2nd rounders and some players for Okafor, but not our pick this year.

^If we end up with Hibbert as our pick will you still think that?

Okafor would be a better fit next to Al.

I agree with you if we pick Beasley or Rose.

If we end up with Hibbert, I don't know what i'll do.

You dont exist after the draft?

If the bobcats would do a S/T of Jaric+Buckner+our 1st rd pick this year for Okafor. I would do it. I would give the 1st for Okafor if they take on Jaric and Buckner. (If we do a S/t they would need those guys just to make it work)

I believe Okafor is a RFA. If that is the case then giving them a different package of Green/Doleac with the 1st is in order. I doubt Cookie has much value for them with May on roster.

Okafor/Al/Gomes

nice frontcourt.

^^^agreed.
Also

Okafor is not a player that we should throw a whole lot of pieces to acquire. He has not shown that he can stay healthy for a whole season yet. I think Klomp's deal is pretty solid with the pick swap, moving from 4 or 5 to 1 is pretty impressive. I don't think I'd pay much more than that, I'd think about giving them Green on top of that. Sad thing is, I think that Craig and Green's contracts would be up by the time we figured out if we had the 1st pick or not. Anyone know how that timeline works?
