With a significant amount of cap space freed up, the Clippers could offer Bobcats' restricted free agent Emeka Okafor a contract starting at $10 million a season, according to The Charlotte Observer.

Offering Okafor a contract starting in the $10 to $12 million range, means that the Clippers' offer would likely be competitive with anything the Bobcats could afford.
