Wallace is the best player on the Bobcats. He is their best defender and their most athletic player. Okafor's 10/10 production is on a Udonis Haslem role player level.
Randolph has never proven that he can play within anything but a iso system ever since he's reached stardom. He is the PF version of Steve Francis. Talented, but you can't win like that.

Okafor has been guarding guys bigger than him from his days in UConn and was still recognized as a solid defender. Apparently you don't appreciate his skills but I highly doubt that you could name me 10 big men currently averaging a double double in the league right now. His rugged play would work fine next to Randolph.
Funny, alot of people said the same thing about Allen Iverson until he started winning and about Baron Davis until he turned the Warriors into one of the best teams in the league.
