Because the general fan base is always going to undervalue anyone from our team vs anyone from a team who makes the playoffs every year. If Wallace went to Utah and they became better, then those same people would be amazed at "how good Wallace became since the move".

I think the only thing that sounds odd is that Utah would trade a PF who is a solid 20/10 ever night. Crash and the potential of McMay are good value, but not sure why a playoff team would trade an all star big man for the potential of Crash and McMay. Utah people seem to like the trade as well as Cats fans. The moron that said it was a " a deal which makes no sense for Utah and was probably first "reported" on a website catering to delusional Bobcats fans." should read the Utah message board and see that 90% of the jazz fans would also do this deal

Even after a weekend of thinking about it and talking with everyone I know about this deal. I still think it would be great for both teams.

Btw, LB talking about seeing May starting at the PF spot this year confirms that the team is strongly lobbying to trade May.
God knows May cant be LB's type of player. Out of shape, non-hustle, only offense player such as May shouldn't be mentioned by LB unless he is trying to unload him.

Maybe he doesn't know much about him :)

Like I said, the most interesting part of all of that was that it seems like he considers Okafor a center, which is a very good thing.

I think LB found out about May when he saw May had McDonald's # on his speed dial.

or he may even had the number tattooed on his hand!

Or he just thinks he can play there and could consider him as PF/C or PF who can play at 5. That just May starting moves him to center (LB didn't actually said May is a PF and Emeka C, I know that's obvious, but I even saw some lunatics on realgm boards listing May as center).

I hope LB thinks of him as a center or LB could find a way to uzilize him no matter how the position is called, but the information he thinks Emeka Okafor is a center simply wasn't included in the article.

I lean more towards Doc's way of thinking. We've reportedly offered Diop the MLE and are supposedly interested in Elson. Either they're looking for stop gaps post Emeka or they feel they're weakest at the 5.

i think it's moves with ajinca, not okafor, in mind. he's a project and they only have okafor right now that can play solid defense.
