Forget this Allen/Okafor pairing stuff, an Allen/Lopez pairing would actually work. It would also be great to have him back with the organization and it would make the Lakers look terrible. See there’s a lot of reasons![]()
Cant pair allen and lopez. lopez is too awful a defender. no way he can gaurd PFs and you take away the value of allen defensively putting him at the 4. not to mention we have a PF in RHJ. and we are better off with a stretch big on a lower salary then throwing even more money into a center like brookDon’t get me wrong I don’t want him on anything more than like 10 mill a year for 2 years but it’s looking like he’s gonna be getting around that amount unless the Lakers throw him one of those one year overpays.
if he takes the MLE and can accept 15-20 minutes i might do it. but id much rather someone who plays defense and can gaurd on the perimeter. id rather go after like jaymichael green type.
Allen would guard PFs on defense while Lopez stretches the floor on offense. That’s much better than if we were to pair Allen with Okafor. They wouldn’t always be on the floor together, I’m just saying they could i necessary. But this team needs a starting C in the short term and a stretch big. Brook Lopez fills both of those roles along with being a fan favorite and a great locker room guy.
I don’t really want Green. I’d prefer someone taller that can play center as well. Like you said, we already have RHJ at the 4.
