Works on trade checker, frees up 5 million in space under the luxury tax. Dumps our long term commitment to Joe.
JJ and Zaza
for
Okafor and Jarrett Jack
With the money freed up from this deal we resign Jamal.
Why we do it?
We now line up Teague/Crawford (or McGrady with quick substitution)/Smith/Horford/Okafor
Our bench is now Jarrett Jack/McGrady/Stackhouse/Marvin/other/Twin
We can rotate Horford into the center spot in limited minutes, Okafor to the PF in limited minutes...same with Smith and Williams. This allows us to resign Jamal and to avoid those horrendous last 3 years of JJ's contract. Our only defensive liability in this setup is Crawford. Okafor more than makes up for that and he's always played Howard well.
Why NO does it? JJ plays the SF for them. Zaza the backup. With Gordon and JJ on the floor they get a potent 1/2 scoring punch. Add Kaman and they now have a true inside/out game. Okafor will most probably not resign with them now and is a lost cause anyway.
Risky move to keep Jamal and Stackhouse
