If Chris Paul is traded, i would imagine that the Hornets wouldn't care too much if Okafor stayed or left, and might agree to swapping him for an expiring contract.

Emeka always gives up 50pts to Dwight, but it would be an upgrade over Collins

Teams rarely deal bigs for smalls. I understand you are using Kirk as an expiring contract in these suggestions, but I think you are really undervaluing the bigs you propose.
