re: The Trade Deadline Thread: Hornets seek continuity in push for championshipquote: Even a role player or draft pick is better than nothing as long as we do not take back anything to hurt the cap in the future. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: The problem at this point is finding a team willing to eat a contract for cap purposes. If we trade with Houston, for example, we either need to take back 3-4 players to make salaries match or we need to find a team such as Indy, Toronto, or Sacramento willing to take a player as part of the deal.

quote: Maybe. But I'm not so sure what happens in the offseason when it comes to Okafor or Kaman. Nobody does, really. Same for Ariza for that matter. I guess what I'm saying is that this isn't a desperate situation like CP3. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: True, but we can also figure that Kaman probably won't be part of any rebuilding effort here unless Dunleavy has a lot of pull with the new ownership. I like him, but if we can get other pieces we need in exchange for him I'd pull the trigger. Reply • Back to Top |
| Adrian Wojnarowski ? @WojYahooNBA Several teams say New Orleans is getting more realistic on asking price for Chris Kaman. "They won't get a 1st for him," one official says. Thanks chad! Reply • Back to Top |
| would be nice to get a few of those young guys from HOU Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Sure . . . but we ain't getting much in the way of other pieces. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Well, a second is pretty much the same as nothing 90% of the time, imo. Now if someone would part with a reliable bench player or two . . . Reply • Back to Top |
| If we could get any combo of Patterson, Budinger, Lee with Thabeet thrown in for salary, that's a win. Reply • Back to Top |
| i'm surprised that we can't get a late first round pick for a center who has shown he can produce. This post was edited on 3/15 at 10:43 am Reply • Back to Top |

| To follow up on the Indiana trade for Barbosa, Sam Amick is claiming that they're also getting Anthony Carter from the Raptors. This means they're now down by about $9m in cap space, to $5m, and have no open roster spots. This doesn't eliminate them from eating a contract as part of a multi-team deal, but it depends on them shipping out a guy on an $800K deal to take someone like Jordan Hill and his $3m deal.

| A 3 team deal involving Houston would be nice. Get back a guy like Buddinger or Williams to be our 3 of the future and possibly sell off Ariza to someone for something decent in return Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I think we're more likely to get decent offers from Ariza this off-season than we would now. He's still got two seasons at $7m left, one of which is a player option he'll take unless he really breaks out next year. Reply • Back to Top |
| I agree, but his value is at an all time high right now. I wouldn't want to dump him for some chump, but if someone wants to overpay for him by all means.. Reply • Back to Top |
