Trade Shawn Marion for Emeka Okafor?

It's no secret that restricted free agent, center-forward Emeka Okafor is not happy with the Charlotte Bobcats. Okafor wants to be traded to another team. Sources say Okafor is ready to move on and if the Bobcats want the best value from him, they should arrange a sign-and-trade with the Miami Heat and get Marion. Marion's uptempo style and tight defense will help the Bobcats in many ways. They will be smaller but faster and more athletic. The Heat should consider this trade because they are in desperate need of a center. It's a win-win for both teams.

  1. Good post, Fedster. I've had that scenario dancing in my head for a month now. Hope it happens or at least something similar.

  2. THAT'S GOT TO BE THE DUMBEST TRADE I'VE HEARD IN A WHILE. GIVE AWAY OUR BEST DEFENDER FOR A PLAYER IS HAS TO BE DEALT, AND WILL NOT MAKE CLOSE TO WHAT OUR PLAYER MAKES? THE LEAGUE WOULDN'T EVEN APPROVE OF THAT. WHY NOT DO A SIGN AND TRADE: OKAFOR SIGNS IN THE 10 - 12 MIL AREA, AND WE SEND HASLEM AND THROUGH IN SIGN AND TRADES FOR WRIGHT AND QUINN TO MATCH SALERIES? WE GET OKAFOR, KEEP MARION, AND GET RID OF DEAD WEIGHT IN WRIGHT/QUINN. I CAN SEE OKAFOR, BEASLEY, MARION, WADE, & CHALMERS AS A STARTING FIVE. HOW LOVELY.

  3. Sorry I couldn't find your email.

    I have initiated an idea to create a sports blogroll where bloggers from all sports disciplines could participate. All you need to do is to add my blog link to your blog and I'll do the same. That way, we could have a mutual partnership and we could refer visitors to each other's blog. Please let me know if you would be interested: basketballcolumnist@gmail.com. Thanks!

    Yours in hoops,
