    The trade was Memo for a bag of popcorn pretty much (second round pick in 2015 I think) and a trade exception.

    I guess they just wanted to dump salary.

    Sharp dude. ;]

    Great trade for both teams.

    NJ picks up a quality center for nothing

    Utah clears 11 million in salary

    I was never a fan. Even when he was an effective 3 pt shooter. I am surprised he went to NJ considering Deron Williams seemed to always be frustrated with how soft he played.

    With Favors, Jefferson, Kanter and Millsap... he was a waste of money. Nice salary dump for an extremely overpaid player.

    I'm sure he'd rather play with Okur then whatever scrub they have backing up Lopez.

    Why don't the Nets try Outlaw at center?

    The Nets waived former Blazer Stephen Graham yesterday. He played a thousand minutes with them last season.

    It's probably against the CBA for the Nets to play a Kings player, even at center.

    Since Okur's contract expires next season, wouldn't he be perfect trade bait for Hedo in a Dwight Howard trade?

    Although Brook Lopez is somewhat harder to move now.

    Okur can't be traded unless its by himself for a few months. Obviously he's not enough by himself to acquire Dwight ;) I'm not sure when that restriction expires though, if it expires before the trade deadline then yes he would make sense to be part of a salary dump.

    I think Orlando ends up hanging onto Dwight. They can offer him more money then any other team and he changes his mind so often its worth gambling that you can resign him.
