Clippers Offering Emeka Okafor $12 Million a Year?

 
07.12.2008 - Updated on 07.12.2008
Still, there’s no sense reaching free agency unless you’re open to changing teams. The flavor of the moment is the Clippers, whose loss of Elton Brand leaves them short a power forward but holding abundant salary-cap room.

I’m told it would be no problem for the Clippers to start a contract in the $10million to $12million range, so with annual raises they could offer at least as much as the Bobcats did.

The Clippers had Smith in for a visit, and he seems to be their priority. Smith is smaller than Okafor, but more of a runner and leaper.

You sign Okafor to get more rugged, and the Clippers already have a big-bodied rebounder in center Chris Kaman. Maybe they’re thinking Smith’s dunking and shot-blocking have appeal for a franchise always challenged to sell tickets.
