    Sounds like the new owner of the Hornets will amnesty Emeka Okafor.

    Oak for 5 mil or so would be a great pickup

    isnt miami only going to have the mini mle at 3 million and some change? Okafor would be a good pickup for us at 6 million or so a year

    if he is amnestied he goes into the bidding pool for teams under the lux tax which we would be and we could snag him for 5m

    Not a good idea to pickup an elderly smallish center with injury problems to his knees for a retooling, youngish team. Just say no.

    Elderly? Dude is 29 and a decent center. A three man rotation of him, aldridge and hickson would work. Goes along with trading both picks for a top tier player

    No idea. They are just calling it knee soreness. Could be a ploy to tank but they are winning at a higher rate than the true tankers so its hard to say.
