Hornets fix up bench - Potential Trade

The Rockets reached agreement on a deal that will send Bonzi Wells and Mike James to New Orleans to get guard Bobby Jackson.

The deal, which will include minor involvement of Memphis. The deal is pending league approval, with a conference call is scheduled for today for the NBA to review the trade.

The Griz end up getting Vinicius from the Hornets.

Great trade (if it comes off) for the Hornets. They have added some scoring off the bench and could be really deep.

Salary dump for the Rockets, and also add a veteran distribution guard behind Rafer.

I've got no idea how/who/why the Griz got involved and what they gave up.

Grizz would be involved for salary cap reasons. They are under the cap so can absorb a contract without sending anything back. I'm assuming the guy they got has an expiring contract and that enough cash was sent to them to cover his salary, maybe a bit more to make it worth their while. Either that or there's an under-the-table agreement for them to get an extra draft pick in a future trade as a "thank you".

Brings Hornets into serious Championship contension .
And the west just keeps on gettin tougher .
This seasons trades have sparked so much interest and have made somewhat la di da teams exciting once more .
Even Miami now with Wade , MatRix and Dorrell Wright are good viewing . If they could grab Lowry and Miler from the generous grizz then they have a solid future foundation .
