Father, when has anyone EVER questioned the heart for either player? Kind of weird to bring that in. Why would you rather use career stats when you're not getting the rookie Kaman - you're getting the version that just had a good season? As Father pointed out, Mek didn't have a bad season at all last year, but Kaman had a better one. You could say that Kaman's numbers took a jump since he was the focal point of the offense for the first time, but then again, isn't that what Okafor has been since he came into the league? Unless you're afraid of Raymond Felton... Father, good point about duplicating the position. Then again, you were the one that thought it would be a good idea to send Emeka to the Clippers...duplicating the position that Camby plays (still). Next? Ha, good point about the strength doc.

Kaman is better than Okafor at everything, and you would take him over Kaman. They're the same age, and Kaman is bigger and just came off of a season in which he posted almost 3 blocks to Okafor's almost 2. Math in the house? Yea, Couldbeyourfather, that makes sense.
