While NBA fans eagerly await the outcome of the finals match up between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat, the other 28 franchises around the league have been busy at work preparing for the upcoming NBA draft. As usual, uncertainty is the name of the game, thus making draft predictions that much more difficult. Aside from bonafide #1 pick Anthony Davis, the rest of the field is still a mixture of speculation with the #2 pick and on still a mystery. This article will try to unravel some possible scenarios, and along the way make some pretty bold predictions.
New Orleans Hornets – Anthony Davis - Needs: Franchise player - There probably is not a franchise in the league with greater feelings of hope. After Wednesday dumping of Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza, the Hornets made a bold statement of their future plans. There really is no doubt who the Hornets will take in this upcoming draft,...

In a blockbuster deal that has sent the Internet in a frenzy, the Hornets have agreed to trade Emeka Okafor and Trevor Ariza to the Washington Wizards for Rashard Lewis and the 46th pick.
Okafur is making 12 million this year, 13 million in 2013 and 14 million in 2014. Ariza is making six million this year, seven million next and has a player option in 2014. Rashard Lewis is making a deserving 22 million this year and 23 million next.
In essence, both teams are swapping washed up and overpaid stinkers. Lewis, one of the highest paid players in the NBA, shot a dreadful 23% from downtown last year, which was supposed to be his specialty. The Hornets must figure that this number has an asterisk next to it in the shape of a Wizard. Don't be surprised if he's bought out for 13.7 million before July 1st, which is what the buyout number is set at.
