It’s more than just the playoffs. He has severely underwhemled his entire time(minus a few bright patches#veryfew#) as a Hornet. He’s pretty good going up against undersize guys like himself. Other than that he’s struggled.

What is it about what he brings to this team that is worth 12mil or more specifically what part of his game makes this team better that we can’t find a center that can do it for a tenth of his salary.

I would rather Iggy because his presense would make a difference. Yes he’s overpaid, but he gives us the premiere perimeter defender we would lose if we traded Ariza. But most importantly he would give us another consistent scorer(who can create his own shot) to take pressure off of CP3 and West(or replace West scoring if we can’t re-sign him). Decent post defending big man are a dime a dozen. Hell even Gray & Mbenga*don’t know why we didn’t play DJ more* showed they could be above average post defenders for rock bottom prices. So why give a guy 12mil for something we can get a guy at 750g’s to do? On the other hand great perimeter defense is a more vauble skill. We get that with Iggy and scoring something Emeka has yet to prove he can do with any consistency.

I guess my whole point to may “Get rid of Okafor” campaign. Is there are about 2 dozen guys in the league that can give us what Emeka does for significantly less money. And there’s about 2 dozen guys that may not be a great post defender are as durable, but bring some post scoring and once again they are significantly cheaper.
