P.J. Brown

[akaarod03]

For whatever it's worth...this is from Chad Ford's ESPN NBA Insider column...

"They'd also be willing to dump P.J. Brown straight up for an expiring contract. By doing so, the Hornets could drastically cut payroll, go into the summer with a ton of cap room and begin rebuilding around young players such as Jamal Magloire and J.R. Smith"

Why not Alan Henderson straight up for P.J. Brown?

I know chemistry is a big issue. I'm tired of making trades without giving the current roster a chance to gel. But I think acquiring a better low post defender in Brown...makes this team even stronger. He's a better fit. Obviously, his numbers are inflated because he plays more minutes and he plays for a bad team...but 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in 36 minutes per game...is pretty impressive. I love his FT shooting percentage...a blistering 85%. He could play the exact role that Henderson plays...backup PF/C. He's also 6'11. The only downside...he's older than Henderson...35 years old...Henderson is 32. And Brown has 2 years left on his contract after this year.

Do you pull the trigger?
