For what it’s worth, Okafor believes he could make it as a 17-year-old pro.

Jazz-Clippers-Celtics-Magic Trade

Jazz get Jordan, Bledsoe, Butler, Lee
Jazz trade Jefferson, Milsap, Foye

Clippers get Garnett, Redick
Clippers trade Jordan, Bledsoe, Butler

Celtics get Jefferson, Foye
Celtics trade Garnett, Lee

Magic get Milsap, Watson (use trade exception on Milsap)
Magic trade Redick

Jazz:
Bledsoe/Williams
Lee/Hayward/Burks
Butler/Hayward/Williams
Favors/Kanter
Jordan/Kanter
- at the moment Jazz can reach the playoffs but they will not contend for championship. With this trade Jazz is not better right now, but they have a higher ceiling. If Bledsoe, Favors and Kanter can develop themselves to stars, this team can run a deep playoff run the years to come. Deep roster and good mix of veterans and young talents.

Clippers:
Paul/Billups
Redick/Crawford
Hill/Barnes/Odom
Griffin/Odom/Garnett
Garnett/Turiaf/Odom
- Clippers want to win now. Garnett is a upgrade over Jordan, especially because of his presence, expierence and leadership. Redick is one of the best shooter who has developed well. With Hill, Barnes and Odom, Clippers a deep enough at SF.

Celtics:
Rondo/Terry
Bradley/Foye/Barbosa
Pierce/Green
Bass/Sulinger/Green
Jefferson/Melo
- Celtics need a change and with Jefferson in his prime, he can build a good duo with Rondo the following seasons. For at least 1 season they will form a new Big 3 (Pierce, Rondo, Jefferson). With Terry, Bradley, Green and Sullinger this roster has everything to be a contender.

Magic:
Nelson/Watson
Afflalo/Moore
Turk/Harkless
Milsap/Nicholson/Harrington
Vucevic/Davis/Ayon
- Magic are still in rebuilding mode. in 2014 Turk s bad contract ends. in 2015 Harrington s. With some good draft picks and 1-2 good Off-Season signings, Magic can be back in playoffs 2015.
