Knick/Jazz/Hornet 3 way trade Idea (Knicks also willing to deal anyone besides Amare)
https://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=29k3592

Knicks wanted a shooting big man according to an ESPN insider a few weeks ago.

Puts us over the cap more this year but its a better scenario financially next summer than trading AK for him. Millsap will still get his minutes. Millsap of course will play PF when in the game. Remember Okafor has a very long wingpan and he could easily play better D against the lakers than Okur can.

D-Will - Price - Gaines
Bell - Miles - Hayward
AK - Miles - Hayward
Jefferson - Millsap - Evans
OKafor - Millsap - Fesenko

Not bad.

There's no way the Knicks or any team take Memo this off-season. Way too risky with more than one year left on his deal.

I'd rather have him over Memo but not at his current contract.
Okafor's contracts is basically financial suicide.

 

[billyshelby]

Does anyone really think it would be complicated to get Okafor?

 

[hilltopper06]

I imagine you could do Okur for Okafor straight up. If they want his contract gone that bad then they would do it.

 

[D Will> CP3]

I like Emeka but if Jazz fans complain about Okur's contract, can't imagine what they do with his

why in the world would the hornets do this? gallinari as the centerpiece? seriously?

 

[sportsnut1232]

basically they would be trading paul for all expirings..I would assume they would want atleast 2 starters back plus picks. The magic could offer a much better package of players imo.

I agree and think Hornets are dumb if they trade away Chris Paul. But if you look at the list of teams that the Paul wants to go to the Knicks have more young pieces that would help the hornets rebuild than any of the others. Everyone else just has expiring contracts.

The best option I think is the Celtics trade that ESPN thought of. Rondo & Perkins for Okafor & Paul. But not sure if the Celtics would do that.
