i think their goal is to clear cap space. I think Emeka Okafor would be worth more to us than he would to them, especially if we are giving them next years first round pick.
Perhaps even the lesser players that we give them would be worth it if the numbers work, since their goal is to clear cap space.

Trading CV and Will Bynum for Emeka cuts 25% off of Emeka’s salary in 2 years, and cuts in half year 3. Plus they get a cheap round 1 draft pick next year.

We get a solid center defender to help rescue our team when Ben Wallace retires and while our rookies are growing up.

Seems like a Win Win to me.

I wish we could trade our 2 second round picks to trade up to late in the first round for Draymond Green…

Monroe, Knight, Stuckey, and Jerebko are our only players with any value. If you won’t trade them, why would the GM of New Orleans want anyone else on our team? Joe D will not be swindling anyone when all our players have low perceived value around the league. The Biedrins/Wright for Prince/Bynum trade on DBB is in the ballpark of what kind of trade might occur.

Wow! Two top-ten this year plus Okafor ? Give them whoever they wish apart from Monroe, Night,Stuckey and Jerebko right now! If it’s true I’m all for it! Next year we hope to get better so our next draft pick is supossedly to be worse. Plus the fact that next year’s draft might be not so deep…The problem here might be how to equal Okafor’s salary for this year and next (more than 28,000,000$). It would take Gordon, Daye and Maxiell…and porobably some other player would be involved…Should they accept it would be good for us imho

OFF TOPIC: Draftexpress updated their player profiles with best/worst case player comparisons. John Henson: Best Case – Marcus Camby, Worst Case – Larry Sanders. It makes for an interesting read.

I heard the hornets were teying to trade their 10 pick. The Pistons need to trade to the hornets anyone not named Monroe Jerebko Stuckey or Knight and next year’s first rounder top 9 protected for Emeka Okafor and this years is 10 pick.

Emeka is a solid defender, Arnie will get him healthy, and 2 top 10 picks this year are worth more than 1 next year.

Two more players added to the US select team, not named Greg Monroe! There must be some sort of consiparcy on this.

If we like a 6’9″ project I’d take a look at Mike Morrison from George Mason. Guy was an incredible defensive player at Mason, freakishly athletic, great finisher and intense to a fault. His offensive game is limited, but if he develops just a little he could be a true sleeper.

This guy seems like he wouldn’t get a glance if he was stateside, but for whatever reason we seem to buy in to these international guys.
