I really don't think Charolette would even consider trading Okafor right now, unless they are getting LeBron, KG, or Duncan.
As for the Knicks' side of it, even though it may be the dumbest thing I would ever do, I would decline that trade.
Right now, Ariza and Sweets are almost untouchable for me, and trading both of them is just out of the question in my mind, unless we are getting one of the three players I just names: LeBron, KG, or Duncan.

...of course, this is all just hypothetical. My guess is my oppinion would quickly changed if that deal was proposed.

If they had a chance to obtain 3 starters for 1, they might do dat wit the quickness as well. Its not that cut and dry.

Its quality over quantity! Okafur is a Franchise player, none of the players they are getting is even close.

No, its quality and quantity combined. Ariza's athleticism, court vision and defense make him a special player. Sweetney's defense is lacking but his post moves are more refined than Okafor's. Nazr is efficient.

The package gives them a couple of future stars for 1 future superstar. Okafor is proven as a rookie, Sweetney and Ariza are less proven. But superstar potential is hard to gauge. Is Ariza the next McGrady or Sweetney the next Aguirre? At the bare minimum, both are competent starters and Nazr is average. So, give or take, the offer definately has advantages for the Bobcats.
