Well, Okafor does look good in my sig getting blocked. But honestly I don't think the Nets have any interest in bringing him in for a four year deal, otherwise they probably would have dealt RJ for someone similar to him, plus filler. I think Celtic Fan's TI for Marion would make the Nets much better than a trade for Okafor, but that trade is just a pipe dream. Edit: I mean't DLee's trade idea in the link Celtic Fan provided.

If he hurts our flexibility for 2010 I'll pass. Remember, even if you don't want Lebron there are other great players on the market that year. So you wouldnt want to hurt our chances by adding Meka. Not worth it. Rather see our young bigs play alot of minutes and develop.

(But seriously, if anyone besides Reg gets it, it should be Maxamillion just for his 07-08 Documentary on Vince.)
i would take him and give them boone not sean, Sean have way to much talant. okafar is a star you just don't notice it becuse he is not a scorer hes a good defence player and he is on a crappy team.
I would be for it. I still think Okafor can be a darn good player in this league. As much as I hope the Nets eventually get Lebron, they still need to add some decent players to have around him when and if he comes over. Okafor seems like a low risk high reward kind of player, assuming the contract is reasonable.

Okafor would be a great fit. Particularly because Boone is our only big who doesn't suck at rebounding. If all it would take would be SWat+contract filler, we'd have to jump on it IMO.

I know Okafor finally survived an entire season, but I really think he has chronic health issues. It seems like the Bobcats feel that way, too. I like him as a player, but I don't think he's worth the risk. Right now, it's unnecessary for the Nets to gamble this way.

Someone could point to those 82 games and say he's finally healthy but I just see him being overdue for another stint on the injured reserve. The pricetag he's looking for isn't gonna happen either, turning down that 12 mil last season was DUMB.
I don't want him anywhere near the Nets except as the opponent. He is very overrated and not worth the money he wants. Just playing on the Bobcats inflates his stats. Boone and Noah could put up his numbers playing on that sad sack team.
Okafor is no more than a solid role player. The money he's asking for is ludicrous. He is an absolute idiot for not accepting the contract that was offered to him last year. Now there's no way he even gets that much, and he shouldn't.
No offense, but why is it that with every single free agent the Nets fans seem to think that they would be a good fit for their team?

Just on sheer numbers, at some point, somebody will bring up a different free agent. It also helps that the team sucks and is going through a complete rebuild, so virtually anyone could help.
