It was just a rumor. He was pretty much untouchable then too.

Speaking of Denver though, since your owner wants to sell the team I believe? And drop salary?

Okafor for Denver's TPE, Cha 1st, and future Denver 1st.

I'm sure most of you fans would hate that, owner might not?

Yeah, supposedly from what I've heard, your owner is looking to make the team's salary obligations less, but who knows what is true anymore. So curious if you guys have any actual insider info.

The Bobcats main insider info provider is this guy Sam Smith that works for NBA.com. If he says Emeka Okofor is on his way out, he's probably got his bags packed already.

If I'm Detroit, I would gladly offer Amir/Afflalo/Kwame or 2nds/15 for Okafor/Vlad or Nazr.

I'd do Amir/Affalo/Kwame/15 for Okafor/Nazr/Diop/future first. Does that add up?

Indeed, these are 2 I'd do. I used to prefer the Gasol deal, but I almost like the Collinson deal more. Collinson paired with Diop would be a rugged front line, and Nick's offensive skills are better than Mek's. If we picked 3rd, my bet is we would take Curry (LB's love child) and seek to do a trade with DJ or a S&T with Felton. I'd prefer Harden at 3, but we see the goo goo eyes everyone is making at Steph, so I'd say he stays in Charlotte. Any trade would have to be done after July 1st because of Okafor's BYC. Assuming Curry is our pick at 3, at 12 I'd take Jordan Hill if he slips that far, or Henderson as the back-up option. Afterwards we complete a trade of either DJ or Felts for a quality player. This assumes we keep Diaw, but I'd put him on the block with Felts or DJ to get a star-powered 2 or 4.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Here is one I posted on the main board. Curious for more fan reaction.

Kmart, Hunter (expiring), Cha 1st, for Okafor, Vlad, and Diop.

Does leave the Bobcats a bit thin at center, and I don't know how much you guys value Diop. Looking at stats and contract, seems extremely overpriced and a good contract to send away in an Okafor deal. Saves a lot of money for the Bobcats too.

Beats me. Would the Bobcats rather keep Diop over Nazr? Diop's contract looks a lot worse. Nazr has had some decent years while Diop hasn't.
