Trevor Ariza, Emeka Okafor Traded for Rashard Lewis and Draft Pick


According to Draft Express (and other media outlets), the Washington Wizards and New Orleans Hornets have swapped players in a trade involving Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza, Rashard Lewis and a Draft Pick: “NBA source tells me Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza have been traded to the Washington Wizards for Rashard Lewis and the #46 pick … Rashard Lewis’ 23.8 million dollar contract can be bought out for 13.7 million before July 1st. Trade saves New Orleans around 30 million? New Orleans now has unlimited cap space, in addition to the #1 pick, the #10 pick, and Eric Gordon. Not a bad time to be a Hornets fan. “

    Is EG a restricted FA? I feel is really odd to keep a player that doesnt necessarily want to stay. I thought EG made it clear that he wanted to be out of NO. And if another team comes along to swoop him up….why would you put the money up to keep him? In my mind, youre trying to keep someone that cannot give 100% effort because they dont want to be there. Spend your money on those that do. Plus EG is often injured….so do they really wanna spend any of that 30mil on this dude?
