Kings deal:
John Salmons
Kenny thomas

Hornets deal:
Bobby Jackson
Rasual Butler
Hilton Armstrong or Julian Wright

hornets pass very easily...they are not trading j wright to get kenny thomas back...

Its not terrible. But I think the Hornets would definitely look elsewhere first.

IMO switch Salmons with Artest...The deal will be ALOT closer....

???? Why artest can play the two it's definitely not AS natural...Salmons IMO is a better fit with the Hornets than Artest would be.

Not too bad, I'd include Hilton before Julian if it were me. Could we swap first round picks too?

If the Kings get the better of the two picks sure. If not, no. I think the Kings would prefer Hilton to Julian as well.

Hilton
Jackson
Butler

for

Salmons
Thomas

get 'er done.

Still kinda mum about it, Kenny Thomas is pretty awful.

It lacks something. I tend to think that the organization would balk at trading Hilton unless it was in a bigger package that gave them back some sort of big. Something involving Chicago perhaps, that brings in TT or Noah.

To be honest, it's a player fit situation...Artest is a GREAT basketball player here but he doesnt simply fit in the offense scheme that Theus is trying to implement IMO...True, in small ball situations he is our PF but when he plays the PF the offense goes stagnant at times (NOT all the times) thus turnovers and etc.... If there is a deal on the table to improve the Kings in any way, ship Artest....Salmons is PERFECT for this team....

Kings could add a second round pick...beyond that it gets hairier.

2nd round picks and Kenny Thomas is like spraying poop with lysol, you can still see it, the smell is only barely more tolerable and eventually goes away and all you are left with is poop. The problem with any KT to New Orelans deal is when Chris Paul needs a max contract, Kenny Thomas will be sitting there collecting over 8 million dollars. They would be paying 52.5 million to six guys before signing Paul.

Mehh...Salmons has been so impressive this season, I wouldn't be open to getting rid of him so easy.

Besides, where would BJ play? Maybe if Bibby was traded...

Beno/Bibby/BJ????

Nahhhh
