Okafor and Ariza would take pressure off AD having to carry the D like he will now.
Ariza is in bad with the coach so I get him being traded, but they could have packaged the 10 and Ariza and I am sure someone would have bit. I am not that big of a Gay fan, but why not give your team a scorer to compliment Gordon and hold on to Okafor to bang low with AD as he is groomed and trade him next season when he is about to expire for future picks or more depth. At least in that scenario they have some sort of team that is trying to win and still will have picks and progress.
Assuming Gordon will resign, there is nothing about NO that screams "we are trying"
you know and I know that shit was rigged and handed to them to make the team a better product to purchase
but besides that, nothing else about that team seems optimistic.
Even if Washington does suck next season, they will draft high next year and have 2 expiring contracts to trade off with John Wall, Seraphin, MKG/Beal, Nene
Gay, Granger, Deng are all free agents
they have a more attractive location and package than NO from the outside looking in.
