It’s the point where the free agents aren’t superstars but they’re still massive names with possibly some potential left in them. Veterans who are either past their prime or trying to revive their careers are all over the place and if they haven’t gone overseas yet, they’re looking for work in the NBA.
One of those players is Emeka Okafor, but while there is interest in him he’s not yet healthy enough to play.
About Okafor, was told a few weeks ago teams = cautious. rehabbed w/o surgery. Has to clear lots of hurdles w/physicians #WizardsTalk #NBA

Last night it was reported that there was heavy interest in Okafor on the open market but that’s questionable now. Just like what happened with Rashard Lewis a month ago, an injury can cause a deal to be kept off the table — or in Lewis’ case be pulled back.
