Okafor????

No. Not in my opinion.  All three firsts, sure.  A package that doesn't
include Pierce and Perkins and all three picks, sure.

I think Okafor will be a player in this league without question.  I like his
game and attitude but he is only a piece, a big piece perhaps which is why I
would give up a lot to get him.  He will be to small, IMO, to be the
dominant player I would trade Pierce for.  I still think Pierce is a
foundation piece of a team.
