Peterson fricking started for the Hornets and when he wasn't injured and played last year, he hit the corner 3.

i hope this is sarcasm

they aren't making a cheap move and are getting a better player who is less injury prone lately

new orleans isn't likely to sign a FA as good as okafor in 2 years when we may have cap room

I say the Hornets put in a call to this dude:
LINK

Doubt he can still play, but worth shot. Need to try to get some cheap frontcourt help if you're throwing 60 million at Okafor.

So you can say right now you would rather Thornton because he played a few summer league games? Not saying Thornton won't be better but you can't just assume that he'll be better because he went to LSU.

My only question is, if it only moves the payroll down slightly, who else are they planning on/expecting to be able to dump?

This is a good point.


We may not be shedding the big bucks, but we are getting a better player, who is a little bit cheaper now, that is a lot less injury prone.

or package them for a really good player with a bad contract and compete now

better to just let his deal expire now or move him when it's expiring

he's a long term solution at center, something most teams struggle to find.

after this year hilton, daniels, and butler come off the books for like $13M if we so choose

then next year peja's $14M salary expires also, and i think mopete's $6M deal expires also

it has nothing to do with him going to LSU.

Player A is an aging veteran who couldn't get minutes off the bench for a team with no bench for a coach who loves veterans. he was invisible last year when he did play and highly streaky the year before.

Player B is a rookie who has demonstrated the ability to score in college and in his only professional competition to date. also, the team thought highly enough of him to trade 2 draft picks for him.

take your pick

I don't know if there is much demand for shitty players who make a lot of money.
