So... is this really news, from LAST YEAR!!

Nope it wasnt a mistake,once he spends a year wit that nut Larry Brown he'll wanna be gone!!!!

Oakafur is a good kid-
great work ethic.....
he will LOVE Brown & vice versa.

the problem is he has no NBA offensive talent
He is an undersized PF

He is a good player to have on your team, but he should not be one of your top 3 players.....if so, you are in trouble

If MJ is smart, he'll only offer him to a mid-level contract. Okafur is still yet to show he is worth big money. $12 million per year? You've got to be kidding me.

Time for Emeka to get some solid advice from Jim Calhoun !!!

Emeka Okafor should have taken that extension. He may regret that.

jgb that's not true. okafar can be a number 2 option, and he's not undersized he's 6'10.

has ne team even offered this guy a contract????

Fire the agent Emeka.

"jgb that's not true. okafar can be a number 2 option, and he's not undersized he's 6'10."

6'10 ? I think not....but anyway-

He can't score..... his CAREER avg is 14 pts (and thats on an AWFUL team)
if he played on a real team that would go DOWN
- he CAN rebound & give you good minutes & defenese.

But he is NOT a #2 guy

He would be great on the Lakers-
a little toughness, rebounding, no need to shoot

not as bad as that reetard sprewell

Bad choice. It was his choice and he was the only one that could have changed the outcome. To turn down an offer like that you are saying that you are going to play way better then the previous years.

Compare Emeka to a gentle Oakley and tell me what that's worth... certainly nothing over 6mil a year... If he wants to be a star in this league he should strive to be the big man version of Bruce Bowen cos that's what he was built for..

12.5 million for Emeka Okafor?? Damn, he shouldn't have passed that up. His value will continue to diminish as long as he stays on the Bobcats.

REPORT JUST IN

division deals are quite rare but this one is being heavily discussed by both teams and has been for some time!

shawn marion is happy to join the orlando magic and sign an extension as he knows his time is limited in miami and has told associates this is a real possibility

the deal would include a package based around hedo turkoglu with others to make the salarys match (arroyo wants to be a starter and is welcome to a sign and trade)
i can just see things going back and forth i want this pick as well etc,etc

my thoughts on this are anytime a deal like this actually makes to much sense it never seems to happen
it would be a win-win for both teams

Emeka is not a franchise player and 12 million is too much, he should have taken it while he could have.

Emeka Okafor is most certainly a franchise player. Unfortunately he's playing out of his natural position and forced to play center. If the briantrust of the Bobcats had any sense at all, they would have drafted a center. Okafor wants a chance to win. That's not going to happen in Charlotte. The money isn't the most important thing to him. He would sign for less money if he could catch on with a winner.

yeah he is a franchise player but is kinda weak at center watch him play as power forward last year and you'll see that he was much better

hllywd if that is true could you see the 76ers putting in an offer for okafor if they miss out on their other targets?

why would he want to stay there with that team? then throw Larry Brown in the mix, ohhh lord it will be interesting that's for sure.
