I'd take Monta Ellis :lol:

But, seriously, I'd build around Okafor.

I picked Okafor too...big men are much harder to find than scorers. You can pretty easily find a guy like Jamal Crawford who can give you 20 ppg with enough touches, but finding a guy who can give you 11 boards and 2 blocks a game is much harder.

I don't necessarily agree with this. I think Okafor may have more value based on the position he plays.

With that being said, I'll take Okafor. He's a very good player on a really poorly constructed team.

Kevin Martin isn't Jamal Crawford though. He scores 23 ppg on a limited amount of touches. Guys like him, Rip, and Reggie Miller aren't easy to find either.

I'm in no way trying to compare Martin to Crawford...I'm just saying I'd rather roll with Okafor and Crawford than with Martin and a guy like Eddy Curry.
