uh, why?
Whatever, Armstrong is solid, all it is is pretty much a gesture to Armstrong to go to a good team.
Hornets Trade Darrell Armstrong To Dallas
New Orleans - The Hornets have acquired guard Dan au and a 2005 second round draft pick from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Darrell Armstrong.
“This move helps our team by letting Junior Harrington and Alex Garcia see more playing time,” said Hornets General Manager Allan Bristow. “We see bright futures for both of them and feel very comfortable with them receiving more minutes and continuing to develop.”
Armstrong, who was signed by the Hornets as a free agent on July 29, 2003, averaged 10.6 points and 4.0 assists in 93 total games for the team. He averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 points in 14 games this season.
“I’ve been very impressed with Junior and Alex and they’ve earned this opportunity,” said Hornets Head Coach Byron Scott. “Darrell is a true professional and a great veteran, but he is approaching the end of his career and this move will benefit the Hornets.”
au had appeared in four games with the Mavericks this season, averaging 1.3 points in 4.0 minutes. The 6-0 guard has also played in Atlanta and Portland and holds career averages of 2.9 points and 1.3 assists in 97 games.
“This trade is a great example of how we will continue to make every effort to improve our team,” said Hornets Majority Owner George Shinn. “I’m confident that Allan and his staff are doing everything possible to make our organization better both at present and in the future.”

The Mavs get a point guard to slow the development of Harris and Terry.
Nice.
Oh no break up the Dallas dynasty = DA but that Dirk guy? How can they ever lose again,
Not, Out!

I didn't hear about this trade, must have happened today.
Dirk is a beast
One fabulous game does not a demi-god (ala Duncan) make. Dirk is great but he ain't a Tim Duncan in carrying games consistently.
Recall it was against Houston = not exactly a full deck recently.

well the dallas station has been opining about the ever dwindling minutes that harris is receiving. They don't particularly think he should be on the floor more...mainly due to his inconsistent play. Their view was that their management was being overly optimistic about the rookie starting and now are left with no choice but to lose face and cut his playtime.
Before last night, Dirk had never even had 45 points in a game. It took him an overtime to get past that hurdle.
I am not worried. Dirk may have scored 53, but he probably gave up just as many.
Every year has to be THE year for the Mavs. Since 2000 or so, they're always tickering around and trying to fit guys in. The revolving door included (but not limited to) Juwan Howard, Raef LaFrentz, Nick Van Exel, Tim Hardaway, Antawn Jamison, Danny Fortson, and Antoine Walker...guys playing a season or two and shipped out. Jason Terry and Erick Dampier probably are living out of their suitcases still.
Nice pickup by Dallas. They'll be better. Armstrong can help Harris better than au could.
The only way this doesn't help the Mavs is if Armstrong is/gets hurt.
Terry isn't going to develop any more. He is what he is.
Harris is just a rook.
I think it was a good pickup by the Mavs.
Great, time to go cut Terry.
Aggie your gettin some serious bad luck Fantasy basketball this year lol...
Its very 96 97 Spurs esque lol.
Blockbuster.
You'd expect Armstrong to get more minutes than Dan au, but how many playing guards do they need?
Good to see Garcia get a mention in the article.
au = flax seed oil“This trade is a great example of how we will continue to make every effort to improve our team,” said Hornets Majority Owner George Shinn.
Since Avery sucks as a coach, they wanted to bring in another sorry point guard that could at least shoot and try him out as coach.
A different angle.
