Emeka Okafor ($12,492,500)
Total = $28,852,305
Thunder out:
Amar'e Stoudemire ($18,217,705)
Kyrie Irving ($5,144,280)
Jared Jeffries ($854,000)
Total = 100% + $5 million = $29,215,985
Rockets do this deal because we feared that Paul would leave for a better supporting cast next offseason, so we do him a solid here and ship him to be a part of OKC's sick lineup. We welcome in a young replacement in Kyrie and we also get one of the most dynamic big men in the game in Amar'e Stoudemire. Great dealin', RR9!
i could've done wb/smith for cp3/filler but i went a longer way around and gave up wb/amare instead and got cp3/ray allen/okafor....and i really think that's a big difference. i get the best pg in the game who's paired with dwight howard now! i also have josh smith who will play a blake griffin-like role with his athleticism. josh came back this season having lost weight and he wants to get better, be a part of his team. i will no longer question his iq as he'll become a more team player with his best friend dwight on the team and cp3 throwing him lobs. i'm so excited! oh i also have ray/matthews a great wing pair from 3!!
