With Paul out of New Orleans, now they only have Jarrett Jack at PG. DJ is from La., so the fit is right. No way we get Minny's unprotected 1st from them, but perhaps their own
1st? Would likely have to take back a contract in the swap which favors them just a little. But I figure the Hornets will likely be late lottery or a first round exit at best.
Someone at RGM proposed this one:
DJ and Diaw for Okafor and the Minny 1st
Now, Okafor has been done by Charlotte, but he is clearly better than Diop. Contract is for 3 yrs at $12 mil/yr which sucks. But it gives us a Center and a pick that will likely be Top 3. Ask yourself: Are you willing to take Okafor at Center with that contract if you have 2 of the Top 3 picks in this draft to add to Kemba, Hendo and Biyombo? Very tempting.

their first is likely better than minn's this year so i imagine it would be fairly protected. i would entertain two options:Originally Posted by ohara831
1. dj and boris for emeka and gordon: why it probably won't happen. gordon was basically pronounced as the prize in the paul trade so the league couldn't exactly flip him for salary relief. also on the risk side, would he resign with us in a year?
2. dj, najera, matty c for emeka + min pick or dj and boris for emeka and min pick their pick. i prefer option 1 but they will want option 2. it is a steep price to pay but mek does provide something we desperately need we could still use our amnesty and we go into the strongest drafts in years with 2 lottery picks probably top tens too.
No way Stern gives up any of NOLA's picks...and no way do I want Emeka's contract back in Charlotte.
BTW...according to the rumors page one of the things that made it easier for LAC to give up Gordon was that his agent was already demanding 18 million per for his client as soon as he could sign an extension (this summer). Still, don't see NOLA giving him up either.
We might could get Kaman for Boris/DJ and them throw in a HEAVILY protected 1st...but I'm not sure I'd do that one.

If you guys haven't noticed, trying to trade with the Hornets is nearly impossible an extremely public. No thanks.
I actually think the Lakers might be a decent trade partner, let DJ be their Mo Williams. Maybe a future first and second?
i would take a 2015 unprotected #1 only.
I've been trying to find a 3 way including NOLA as I think they would like DJ, and I can see them having a need for Boris as well.
My first attempt:

I don't really care for it, but those of you who want to get rid of Boris might like it. We basically dump Boris' contract and swap out DJ for Thompson. SAC does Thompson for Kaman, absorbing the extra into their available space. NOLA flips Kaman for DJ/Boris. and balances them a little bit more.
CHA out: DJ/Boris
CHA in: Thompson
NOLA out: Kaman
NOLA in: DJ/Boris
SAC out: Thompson
SAC in: Kaman.
If nothing else it'd give us more cap to play with this year.

Dj to Knicks for shumpert?
Shumpert won't amount to much in the NBA... must get more from the Knicks for something like this to happen.
Lakers want a young PG, We need scoring, and Rockets want Gasol how bout
Charlotte lands: Kevin Martin and Chase Budinger
Lakers land: Augustin & Diaw
Rockets land: Pau Gasol & Derrick Brown
it works cap wise http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=7ytg5dy
Then could trade Maggette to somewhere for center help or cap relief (maybe Spurs for PF/C Bonner & expiring contract of TJ Ford)
