Aren't Okafor and West basically the same guy?
People who don't look at how much a guy's making before starting yet another trade thread should be ridiculed mercilously.
??? I posted the news that Chandler is headed to Charlotte on this thread instead of making a new thread. Did you check the date of the original thread? Did you read the thread?
no, basically they are as different as two frontcourt player can be. nice move by the Hornets.Quote:

Besides, Okafor won't get so many shots as he did in Charlott, as David West also works at low post and won't share considerable shots with Okafor, and Okafor won't collect so many ally-oops as Chandler did. Okafor is only a slight upgrand in terms of game playing and strategy. While Okafor's long contract is absolutely a bad acquisition for Hornets in terms of financial issues in the long run, especially for Hornets who are struggling in finance.Quote:

Oh, and a center he may be, but an undersized center Okafor is.
