Emeka Okafor

[dantian]

Okafor's main problem is his contract, and somehow he seems to get injured quite often.

yeah but okafor needs to be inthe paint to get those rebounds and putbacks. when he is in the paint, so is his defender, next thing you know amare has lost all the room he needs to do what he does best .... were better suited with bigs like frye and marion than okafor and shaq for this reason

it does have its drawbacks, especially on defence, but i think frye is about as good as we can hope for whilst still remaining the identity that works for us

any defensive minded centre on D is going to muck things up on O - gotta remember that

yup I agree... though Kurt Thomas was a good fit. Respectable D, rebounding, and a 15ft J. That is what we need more than a happy-jacker-Brad-Lohas-ish-like Frye. Crazy Eyes' departure was the beginning of the end. It screwed us on the court and off.

I think Aussie David Andersen would be a good fit, he's a reserve for Houston right now. Hopefully get to see him in action tonight..

Yeah please get rid of Frye or at least SLASH his minutes. I am totally in favor of Okafor, for the same reasons that Crazy Eyes was good here. Though I guess Okafor is a higher paid, longer contract version of Kurt albeit younger and more upside.
