A source with knowledge of the situation says the Kings are discussing a trade with New Orleans that would send Kenny Thomas to the Hornets and bring center Emeka Okafor to Sacramento.
The deal would be ideal for the Hornets, as Thomas' expiring contract worth $8.7 million is just the kind of contract that would trim their enormous payroll. The question, of course, is whether the Kings see Okafor as a big man solution worth the five years and $62.5 million left on his deal.
Looks like the Hornet's are already calling it a season. They could definelty get more for Okafor, but it seems like they don't care about getting any value back unless that value saves them alot of money or expires at the end of the season.
If Kenny Thomas is the asking price why don't we offer up Bonner, Finely (or Mason) and a pick. A Jefferson Duncan Okafor frontcourt would be amazing with Dyce and Blair coming off the bench.
