Okafor Agrees to HUGE Deal

Seems that Okafor's agent saw the Bogut deal and wanted the same cash. Okafor signs a 6 Year/72 Mil contract where he gets 12 mil a year kind of like Bogut contract. I personally dont think Okafor is worth this big contract yet, hes been injury prone in all but 1 year in the league..with this past year being the first year hes played a full season. Hes averaged a double double his whole career with atleast 1+ blk, so if you look at the stats hes been productive but i dont know if hes the type of player you want to build around because of his injury problems but im no expert so we'll just have to wait and see.

well ... Okafor is much better than Bogut.


I'm thinking Al Jefferson might want to get his contract back. If Bogut and Okafor can get so much money, Jefferson should have been able to get close to $80 million.

Its actually more than Bogut's because Bogut's is only $60 million with $12 mil in impossible incentives.

Biedrins also got an extension 6 years 66 million. Deecent big men are worth alot of money.


Kyle:
Bogut - 14.3 pts 9.8 reb 2.6 ast .8 stl 1.7 blk 51% FG
Okafor- 13.8 pts 10.7 reb .9 ast .8 stl 1.7 blk 53% FG

..and Bogut is 24, Okafor is 26

That's true, but if you think about it every single starting center in the league is going to be getting about 10 mil. a year with in a few years no matter how good they.

That's really sad, but could be true. Nuggets and their overspending for crummy bigs. It's all their fault.

This is all bad new for the Lakers. Bynum (or his agent) will demand the same if not more. Rumours go that they asked for a MAX deal

He might be a bit. But WAY overhyped??? When he played over 30 minutes he averaged 18/12/2.5 thats all-star material.

Yes and Tony Allen put up 20 points per game during a 15 game stretch before he got injured two years ago. It doesn't mean he'll ever do that again just you can't tell with Bynum. Injuries destroy the possibility of potential becoming reality and the likelihood that it will happen isn't very likely to begin with. Yes. Bynum has loads of potential. Sadly, though, potential does not always become reality and Bynum is hyped like his potential is his reality and that is a mistake. That's why Bynum is overrated and overhyped and as a result will get a monster contract (much like Nene who of course never lived up to his potential).

as usual we have noobs making retarded judgements on this


yup bynum's overhyped which is why he put up 17/11/3 when given the chance, and without any plays running through him


bogut>okafor offensively

okafor>bogut defensively

bogut is younger, okafor has hit his ceiling. overall bogut>okafor any day.

Indeed

and yet when judgment day comes, whether it is for these players a year or two or more, I'll still be proven right as always.

We'l see. But I do agree that after an injurie like this its not ulikely that Bynum will never get to that level again.

i'd feel better about Bynum's chances if he had a more developmentally oriented coach. He is the one guy on the Lakers that I believe could eventually lead his team to a championship. He has that type of potential. Not many players out there can do that. (imo, Al Jefferson, Michael Beasley, Greg Oden, Michael Conley, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, [Spencer Hawes], Chris Paul, Lebron James, Chris Bosh are a few of the others with the potential to do that.)

Spencer Hawes will never score more than 15 points a game and is a lousy defender.
