The New Orleans Hornets and the Washington Wizards have agreed to a trade that involves Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza going to the Wizards and Rashard Lewis and pick 46 to the Hornets. Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com says that “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?”
This is a smart deal for both teams. The Wizards get Veteran leadership that can put them in the playoffs and the Hornets get in the second round of a deep draft with almost 30 million extra of cap space.
