Yeoman beat man Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee reports the Kings are mulling a trade offer from the Hornets (http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/2009/11/kings-consideri.html) that would send high-priced center Emeka Okafor (http://nba.fanhouse.com/players/emeka-okafor/3819) to Sacramento in exchange for roleplaying, aging forward Kenny Thomas (http://nba.fanhouse.com/players/kenny-thomas/3345). K-9 has looked spry in early action for the Kings (http://nba.fanhouse.com/team/kings), but his best attribute is his $8.7 million expiring contract. Okafor is on the books through the 2013-14 season.
New Orleans acquired Okafor this summer, committing a grip of cash long-term in the process. The Hornets (http://nba.fanhouse.com/team/hornets) sent Tyson Chandler (http://nba.fanhouse.com/players/tyson-chandler/3512) -- an expensive center himself, but on a much shorter contract -- to Charlotte in the deal, which came several months after the Hornets tried to unload Chandler for a package of expiring contracts amid the throes of a playoff chase. Chandler, however, failed his physical with the Thunder (http://nba.fanhouse.com/team/thunder), reversing the trade.
The mainstream media called us out for only being able to get Tyson Chandler, but the only thing the Hornets can get for Okafor is KENNY THOMAS? A guy who hasnt played in like 3 years? I know this is all for economics but still, you have to be able to do better than that.
