I see why you guys dealt us Okafor

[Saint J]

Now don't get me wrong, Okafor is a solid player, a good role player to be exact. BUT he is no where near worthy of the contract he has currently, at best he's an average defender with a limited offensive game. He does well on the boards but he doesn't dominate them either. Kind of pains me to know we have 30+mil tied up in this guy...

Our thoughts exactly. Solid NBA player, but not a superstar by any means. No idea why he was given that contract by Charlotte FO, but glad they were able to clear it off the books.

He will always be hovering around a double-double for as long as he stays in the NBA (which will be a while). He is incredibly smart and incredibly consistent.

The problem is, he is consistently slightly above average. Not great, but not terrible. And his main downside is he doesn't necessarily make people around him better. I love the guy and wish him all the best (he still lives in Charlotte), but he isn't a game changer. He will probably be a journeyman when his contract expires, but he will always log static, productive minutes.

Come on Oke is better than an average defender.

He is just a little short on a lot of attributes... he could be taller, he could be more agile, he could be a better shooter, he could seem to enjoy the game a bit more, etc

I hate that we lost him, but agree with the trade financially.

Nope, never developed into the 20/20 guy he could have.
