We deal Prince, Kwame, Daye.

They deal Okafor, Armstrong, Mo Pete.

More importantly they send out $19,398,698 and "only" take back $16,002,220.

Surely that is enough for them to get under the tax threshold?

Obviously they'd save even more after next season when Prince comes off the books.

The best thing here is that they could actually sell the trade to their fans and claim it's not a salary dump.

Kwame would start at C instead of Okafor (obvious downgrade) but with West, Prince, Brown and Paul in the line-up the Hornets could claim they got Paul some real help, someone with extensive playoff/NBA Finals experience and the dude actually has a ring to prove it.

We get our defensive big of the present and future, a local kid made good for 2 years and a bum. But having Okafor with Nova, Rip and BG would be pretty sweet. That's a 4some you could sell to MLE free agents that have options.

Thoughts?

Has it been long enough since Okafor was dealt there?

I'm confused by the thread title.

I think N.O. could sell it better if you swapped Daye for a protected 1st.

Don't see any dominant bigs in the draft so I'd be willing to give up any pick besides Wall for a legit 5 (Oak or Kaman).

I see a Rashard Lewis type career for Daye.

Has it been long enough since Okafor was dealt there?
He can be traded anytime.

I'm confused by the thread title.

What's confusing about a TOR trade with no Raptors in it?

It was gonna be a big TOR/DET trade with Bosh but I thought it had been done to death so I went with NO instead and fucked up the title.
