Small but effective Sixers/Hornets trade

Sixers send Willie Green to Hornets for Hilton Armstrong and Ryan Bowen

Sixers free up a little cap space because Bowen is an expiring contract and they pick up a young big man in Armstrong

Hornets get a good scorer to come off the bench and playing with Paul in an uptempo style with Hornets could be a plus for Green....

Possible ....Thoughts....

Even if the Hornets thought that was fair, which I doubt, they need MORE big men, not fewer.

what if we expanded it to include Randolph to Hornets and Marcus Vinicius(sp) to Philly...

Well that solves the big man problem, but not the "Willie Green sucks and has a long contract" problem.

Its not that bad of a contract at around the mid level exception $$ amount ...and being that he would not have to be a primary option he could be explosive off the bench ....

Not a fan of the deal.

More realistic might be BJax (expires with Dre Miller) and a 1st for Evans & Green?

Right on part 2 at least. Randolph is a marginal PF,Armstrong a C who was a rather hig pick and has upside Randolph lacks.
