Yet you waste your time posting pointless comments that have nothing but criticism with no resolved solution. Good Job, you are a genius at managing your time.

I will admit that I enjoyed the smug condescension that I infered in this post. Wether or not that was your intention I enjoyed it.

If he keeps this up we may just become friends.
Want to go steady? But just remember no means no.
I would think we would have to throw in some kind of future 1st for that to even be plausible.

I was thinking the same thing. But, for some reason, it started to sound like too much. Maybe a lottery-protected first? Maybe a second-round pick?

Can we use the TPE in conjunction with a player?
Eg. TPE Memo + Bell for Ariza + 10
We are in essence trading away $3 million in contracts for $13 million in contracts + Draft pick ($2.5 million) so we end up paying a lot more. But for the 10th pick, we dump bell for a more serviceable player (albeit overpaid) in Ariza who pushes Gordon to the 2 and replaces Howard (who I think is out). Plus we still hold Jefferson.
Trading Jefferson for Okafor AND Ariza is terrible. It's something like $17 million for $38 million back. Okafor is too similar to Kanter (today - not in 3 years) and he is not cheap. We don't get any young assets or a draft pick but we are taking on 2 bad contracts in exchange for a near 20-10 player who doesn't fit particularly well with our offense. I wouldn't touch that trade if it was labeled 'Perfect, supple breasts'.

Allow me to crush your dreams:
Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Draft buzz: Hearing that teams calling Hornets being told that it'll take more to get No. 10 pick than taking on Ariza or Okafor contract

The Charlotte Bobcats are shopping the second overall pick, according to multiple sources.

... so Devin Harris isn't "more"?

He is. I guess I didn't cursh everyone's dreams. Really hope our starting PG isn't traded for Marshall or Lilliard otherwise we'd be running the point with Tinsley until the rooks settle.
Bobcats should probably trade the #2 if they can get some proven production. The #2 pick is the scariest of them all this year, imo.
