Hawes, Nocioni Traded to Philadelphia for Samuel Dalembert

Stay connected for news and updates

Spencer Hawes and Andres Nocioni traded to Philadelphia for Samuel Dalembert. Chad Ford of ESPN reporting it. More soon.

UPDATE 1: We've written about how Samuel Dalembert could help in the past.

UPDATE 2: Here are the salary ramifications: Hawes makes $2.9 million this season, and then he's a restricted free agent with a $4 million qualifying offer. Nocioni makes $6.8 million this year and $6.6 million 2011-12. Dalembert makes $14.8 million this season (thanks to a 15% trade kicker), and then he's a free agent. So the Kings take on an extra $5.1 million in 2010-11 in order to save $6.6 million in the 2011-12 season. The Kings are now projected to have about $15 million in cap space for this summer.

UPDATE 3: I believe that we can definitely take two things away from this, neither of which really matters going forward:

1. Either Geoff Petrie or Paul Westphal or both were really disappointed by Hawes last season.

2. Petrie gets a bogey on the 2007 draft.

UPDATE 4: FanHouse's Sam Amick talked to Dalembert's agent Marc Cornstein: "I’ve said for a long time that if I could hand pick a team, (the Kings) would be the best fit for him."
