Wizards, Grizzlies, and Hornets complete trade
The Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, and New Orleans Hornets have completed a 3 way trade. The Wizards will receive Mike James and Javaris Crittenton, the Hornets will receive Antonio Daniels and a conditional second round pick, while the Grizzlies will receive a future #1 pick.
This is a trade that works for all teams involved. The Grizzlies are forever rebuilding and trying to save money so losing one contract for this season helps them out greatly. The Hornets will finally get an experienced quality back up for Chris Paul in Antonio Daniels. Washington will be without Gilbert Arenas for a few more months, so adding James and Crittenton helps them greatly. James provides experience while Crittenton provides youth and scoring ability.
Washington released guard Dee Brown to make room for the incoming guards.
