[Pistons < Spurs]

It appears Chicago has found a bench scorer: Bulls and Hornets are near Aaron Gray for Devin Brown trade, sources say.

Just filed to ESPN: Hornets are trading Devin Brown for Aaron Gray. Deal will be official later Monday

Hornets need extra big and wanted Gray for their bench. Bulls need another shooter so wanted Brown, who had lost PT to rook Marcus Thornton

[Allanon]

Hornets picking up Aaron Gray was a pretty good move.

[timvp]

Does that put the Hornets below the lux tax threshold?

[I. Hustle]

Uh oh, wait for the BR meltdown

[loveforthegame]

Small trade but one that actually makes sense for both teams.

I wonder what Denver was offering for Gray last week?

[I. Hustle]

Does that put the Hornets below the lux tax threshold?

It puts them below the talent tax threshold

[noob cake]

Hornets traded downtown Devin Brown for Gray?
:depressed

Paul won't be happy

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Brown for Gray? Sounds like a color thing

Hornets still need one more trade to get under tax threshold. Tax benefit of swapping Devin Brown for Gray is only savings of roughly $100K


Hornets still roughly $425,000 over tax line. Getting under gets you nearly $5 million. All non-tax teams collect such a check in the summer

lol? Hornets are really that cheap

[badfish22]

:lmao that was the guy BR beat off to after every game

[Reeko_Htown]

Bulls going to Finals sons.

God Bless.

[noob cake]

Downtown Devin Brown is almost as good as Kobe as far as chucking goes. I don't know why Hornets would trade him to save only $100k and not be under the tax.

Br won't like this one bit

Hornets still need one more trade to get under tax threshold. God bless, sons.

Word out for some time that Bulls hoped to find shooter on an expiring deal. Not easy to find. Brown's a guy who's had some big games for NO

You'll recall NO nearly traded Devin to 'Sota. Deal couldn't work unless he waived part of his trade kicker. Brown, then a starter, declined

[Allanon]

Aaron Gray is a legit 7 foot and 270 pounds.

NO needed a real center instead of all these 6'9 guys trying to play center.

[Dex]

Downtown Devin Brown just became Chitown Devin Brown. Put out the shower rod alert for BRHornet45.

[djohn2oo8]

I sense a BRHornet meltdown of epic proportions approaching

[Pistons < Spurs]

The Hornets are working to move guard Bobby Brown to get the final $400K or so under the luxury tax threshold, league sources say.

[duhoh]

lol hornets

nah he probably isn't focusing much on the Hornets right now. Hes got the Saints

[Reeko_Htown]

God bless, sons.

What do you mean by that?

[ffadicted]

Oh jesus, here we go

[Bender]

What do you mean by that?
I think he means "thanks for answering my question"

[IronMexican]

Hornets just trying to pick up more white guys.

[DAF86]

I think he means "thanks for answering my question"

Shouldn't it be "God bless, son" instead of "God bless, sons" then? I thought he was implying that maybe the Hornets will have to trade talent away just for a little bit of money and maybe the Spurs could benefit from that.

[redzero]

I didn't know Devin Brown was so important here.

For Hornets fans it looked like he was.

His awesomeness has been revealed to me in that thread.

[I. Hustle]

It looks like the Bulls are the new favorites to win it all now.

[ClippersDynasty]

Hinrich or Salmons is going now. Hinrich to the Lakers, to Boston?

[BRHornet45]

sons I don't even wanna talk about this motherf****** bullsh!t!

[rAm]

we do

[Chieflion]

I feel sorry for BRHornet45. I mean, Devin Brown was the savior, now he has to see more Peja.

[noob cake]

BR, the guys at HornetsReport seem to be pleased about getting Gray for Brown? And also pleased with the fact that Thornton would be getting more burn. What are your thoughts?

I like it if true. Both Browns didn't provide much. Only question will be depth in the backcourt, but I guess Mo-Pete gets more playing time.

Teams agreed to deal which will take Hornets under luxury-tax line. NOR now eligible for the nearly $5 mil all non-tax teams in 09-10 to get

I liked Devin's game a lot when he was slashing and playing good D. We did need another Center, thats for sure. Gray gives us size(a 7-footer).

Also, Thornton's minutes will spike and he should be the starting SG now. If we aren't contending, we might as well be developing our young talent.

Was it a good basketball trade? I guess we will soon find out.
