2009 NBA Trades

Minnesota acquired Alando Tucker; 2010 second round pick (Suns pick protected top 40, else Cavaliers pick) (#56-Hamady N'Diaye); cash while sending out Jason Hart in the 2009-12-29 transaction with Suns.

Oklahoma City acquired Eric Maynor and Matt Harpring’s contract for the rights to Peter Fehse, adding a useful backup point guard at almost no basketball cost.

Charlotte acquired Stephen Jackson; Acie Law from Golden State Warriors for Raja Bell; Vladimir Radmanovic.

The partner finished with a modest edge. The Warriors acquired Raja Bell; Vladimir Radmanovic from Charlotte Hornets for Stephen Jackson; Acie Law.

Dallas received 2012 second-round pick (top 55 protected) (not exercised) from Minnesota Timberwolves and sent Nathan Jawai; cash considerations in return.

The Nets acquired 2011 second-round pick (#41, Darius Morris); 2012 first-round pick (protected top 7 in 2012-13, top 6 in 2014, else 2014 second-round pick, 2016 second-round pick) (2013 #21, Gorgui Dieng) from Warriors in exchange for Marcus Williams (D.).

Denver acquired James White from Houston Rockets for rights to Alex Hervelle.

Minnesota acquired Antonio Daniels; 2014 second round pick (#40-Glenn Robinson III) while sending out Darius Songaila; Bobby Brown in the 2009-09-09 transaction with Hornets.

Slight Pelicans Edge. The Pelicans side produced the clearest immediate basketball value through Songaila, who appeared in 75 games and supplied dependable frontcourt minutes. That direct contribution gives New Orleans the edge even without using Bobby Brown’s later protected-second transaction in the grade. Minnesota still received a future second-round pick, which eventually became the No. 40 selection in 2014, while Daniels’ contract helped the club accomplish a cost-management objective. Those elements keep the return from being a failure even though Daniels never played for Minnesota.

Milwaukee acquired Carlos Delfino; Roko Ukić / Roko Ukić while sending out Amir Johnson; Sonny Weems in the 2009-08-17 transaction with Raptors.

Miami held the better side in the 2009-08-13 transaction with Minnesota Timberwolves, receiving Quentin Richardson for Mark Blount.

Los Angeles Clippers earned a modest hindsight edge over Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2009-07-20 exchange, with Sebastian Telfair; Craig Smith; Mark Madsen providing the better overall return.

Cleveland paid a modest package for one useful season of Shaquille O'Neal during a 61-win title push, while Phoenix gained flexibility but little direct player value; the Cavaliers hold a narrow realized-value edge.
