Okafor to Sac-Town, finally?
Posted: Thu Jun 30, 2011 7:55 pm
Hornets outgoing:
Emeka Okafor
Trevor Ariza
Total salaries: 19,283,140
Kings outgoing:
Francisco Garcia
Donte Greene
Jason Thompson or Hassan Whiteside
Total salaries: 10,481,198/8,268,786
Why for the Kings? To replace Dalembert who will probably sign with a contender or maybe he wants the $$$ too. Anyways, you get a guy in Okafor who would fit in perfectly beside Cousins/Hickson/Thompson or Whiteside. In Ariza, you get a guy who can lock-up Kobe Bryant in the playoffs to start at SF while guys like Honeycutt (who I wanted to be a Hornet) can take a back seat and learn from him.
Why for the Hornets?
This sets up "The Trade" CP3 to..? I say the Clippers for a ton of young prospects and picks to COMPLETELY tear it down and rebuild the right way.
