    David Wesley Traded For Jim Jackson

    NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The New Orleans Hornets, off to a 2-24 start, traded shooting guard David Wesley to the Houston Rockets for Jim Jackson and Bostjan Nachbar on Monday.

    Wesley played for the Hornets since the 1997-98 season, compiling averages of 14.7 points and 4.6 assists. He is the franchise's career leader in games started and ranks in the top three in 12 other categories.

    Wesley averaged 13.9 points and 4.2 assists in 26 games with the Hornets this season.

    ``Jim and Bostjan are going to fit well into our system and should be able to help us with their offensive skills,'' Hornets general manager Allan Bristow said in a statement.

    ``We're optimistic that the addition of these two players and the return of some of our injured players will give us a great boost on the court.''

    Jackson, a 13-year veteran who plays both shooting guard and small forward, holds career averages of 15.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists. The 6-foot-6 journeyman has spent time with Dallas, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Golden State, Portland, Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami and Sacramento in addition to Houston, where he signed as a free agent before last season.

    Nachbar was selected by the Rockets with the 15th overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft. The 6-9 Slovenian forward averaged 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in his first two seasons with Houston and averaged 3.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 16 games with the Rockets this season.

    To make room on the roster for Jackson and Nachbar, the Hornets waived injured guard Alex Garcia and forward Lonny Baxter.


    trade makes so sense for houston. They need a PG wesley is a sg are they gonna move tmac to 3 and have a small Back court in wesley and sura??? This is a dum move on houston's part. Jimmy was the team's vocal leader

            not really sure what houston wants with wesley. jackson has even been a better outside shooter than wesley over the last few years. maybe they have another deal lined up or something.

                    This doesn't make any sense for either team. New Orleans is garbage now, so why trade for someone who was on a decent team and that's older? Houston needs experience around the Mac and Yao experiment, so why trade away that leadership for someone who's just another guy.

                    I would've traded David Wesley for a bag of chips.

                        For NO, JJ has one year left on his deal, and he's a better player. For HOU, let me know when you figure it out, seeing they just traded for a combo guard in barry last week, and now wesley sura and barry are the same things

                            No doubt.

                            Who do you guys think should be the starting five for each squad now?

                            EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
