The AP reports that the Sacramento Kings have agreed to acquire Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert of Haiti for Argentinian forward Andres Nocioni and American-born center Spencer Hawes.

The 6-foot-11 Dalembert has been with Philadelphia ever since he was drafted in 2001. The center averaged 8.1 points and 8.3 rebounds over eight seasons. He was unhappy with his role and asked for a trade last year.

The 6-7 Nocioni averaged 8.5 points for the Kings last season after spending his first 4.5 seasons with the Chicago Bulls. Nocioni was suspended two games in March after pleading no contest in California to drunken driving in the state’s capitol.

Hawes, a 7-foot-1 center, averaged 10 points and 6.1 rebounds last season. He was Sacramento’s first-round draft pick in 2007 and showed flashes of brilliance here and there, but has never been able to sustain consistency. He bruised his knee on March 31st

Dalembert, the NBA’s only Haitian-born player, went to Haiti in January after that nation’s disaster earthquake to assist with the earthquake relief effort.

This is partly a salary dump by the Sixers as Dalembert was scheduled to earn nearly $13 million in the final year of his contract. He has a 15 percent trade kicker in his deal. That clause made it difficult for the Sixers to trade him sooner.
