Hornets acquire Aaron Williams

[Kori Ellis]

The New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets announced today that they have acquired forward Aaron Williams from Toronto in exchange for second round picks in 2006 and 2009.

“Aaron will be able to step right in and provide us with an inside presence off the bench,” said Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. “We’ve been looking for someone to help us to solidify our frontline, and he definitely fits the bill.”

Williams, a 11-year NBA veteran, holds career averages of 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 612 games. He had averaged 1.9 points and 1.2 rebounds through 13 games with the Raptors this season.

Hmmm. The Aaron Williams of a few seasons back would've been a welcome addition to the Spurs.

dust him off.

Could be good, but he might be past his prime.


Shoulda traded Mason for Rasho :spin

Good move to replace Chris Andersen. Scott has coached him before, too.

Damn, I didn't even know he was collecting dust on a bench in Canada.

Glad to see him in a better situation. Guy's a class act, didn't once bitch even though he was nailed to the pine.
