Okafor's contract isn't that bad for a 27 year old starting Center. Only problem is it runs one year longer than Martin's but I don't think the Kings really care since he's so young and they plan on keeping him around for their rebuilding process with Evans. Plus, they get rid of Nocioni's contract which actually saves them some money.

NO is kind of iffy. They're in a tough spot with an injured Paul and a bad record. They're losing tons of money and may have some motivation to get out of Okafor's contract. Remember, they were very close to just trading Chandler for an expiring and wiping their hands of the $$$ before acquiring Okafor. That experiment hasn't worked out for them so far and they may be looking for mulligan. They might need to get a little more back, but I don't think it's too far off.
