I’m not getting this. It’s not a good or bad move, but it’s just weird.

Another old wing to take playing time away from Wayne Ellington!

Hart has been inactive all season, who will the Wolves remove from their active roster? Brown is shooting over 40% from three this season, but he’s 30 years old, and I would imagine isn’t in the team’s long-term plan. He only makes a little over $1 million next season.

what u doing bro?..

But, as noted if we put Brown into the rotation that takes minutes away from our young backcourt that needs to learn.

For New Orleans, it’s purely financial. Hart makes less than Brown, and with Hart’s partial guarantee he can be cut by New Orleans to save even more. Since they’re in luxury tax territory, every dollar they cut from payroll, they save another in tax.

Sometimes young players can also benefit from a few extra minutes of watching a veteran run the offense, play defense, etc. With guard talent at a minimum in the up-coming draft, teams will be willing to pay for young talent/veteran help. I’m guessing this is more of an asset than anything.

For all those saying we need to “see how Al and Love can play together with shooters,” or just “see Al’s game with a three-point threat on the court,” here’s your trial run. In that vein, looks like a good move to me.

and would rather give Brown the SG/SF minutes he got. Just a guess.

I like the move in terms of adding talent but I have to think there’s something else in the works. At least he can take Pavlovic’s minutes, if nothing else.

Allows us to move a “bigger” salary in Damien Wilkins to a team looking to acquire cap space?

I might also assume it means Gomes is gone.

“I haven’t made one trade call since we started the regular season. I really feel the players we have deserve to be evaluated on a season-long basis. I would be content if we don’t make a move.”

Well, this is at least further proof that reading the tea leaves is a pretty much a useless exercise.

The move itself is solid. Like others said, it has more to do with helping the frontcourt rather than finding long term solidity in the backcourt per se. Just because we’re rebuilding doesn’t need we should abdicate or starve ourselves of low-risk talent.

didn’t see this coming, I’m not sure yet. We already have Wilkins and Pavlovic, what does Brown provide then?

I say 2:5 odds that this move was done with another move in mind within the next 7-10 days.

Good trade for us, and either Wilkins or Gomes (or if someone is really dumb Pavs) is gone in the next few days.

Gomes would get the most and though I love the guy he desearves to be on a contending team so part of me hopes he gets traded.

Wilkins has impressed me this season, he’s not great but a good leader and he gives effort every night.
