Bonzi Traded To Sacramento
22nd July, 2005 - 5:04 pm
Memphis Commercial Appeal - Bonzi Wells is a Sacramento King.

The Grizzlies exercised an $8 million team option Friday and agreed to trade Wells to Sacramento in a three-team deal involving the Utah Jazz , NBA sources confirmed.

The deal won’t be announced until the NBA’s moratorium is lifted because of a delay in finalizing the collective bargaining agreement.

Wells, though, will go to Sacramento for guard Bobby Jackson while the Kings will send Greg Ostertag to Utah.
The Jazz also will send forward Curtis Borchardt, and guards Raul Lopez and Kirk Snyder to Memphis.

The 29-year-old Wells was considered the best guard available now that Ray Allen, Michael Redd, Bobby Simmons, Larry Hughes and Cuttino Mobley have agreed in principle to sign new deals.

The Grizzles also had more than cursory conversations with Boston, Dallas, Washington, Detroit and Utah.

Griz president Jerry West has shopped for deals since Wells was unceremoniously and inexplicably removed from the team during the playoffs. The team also is seeking to move guard Jason Williams and would like to consummate a sign-and-trade deal with free agent guard Earl Watson

i got a better idea, let's trade our future including daniels, harris, and a good trading chip in van horn to boston hoping that the sulking paul pierce might come here and actually play second fiddle to dirk? oh that's ok...cuz we needed front court help...so we are getting raef lafrentz again to get 3 fouls in 3 minutes in the deal too! ooops...there goes all the luxury tax savings by waiving finley. we get to take on raef's giant contract. oh wait, it's ok still, because we are getting....marcus banks..........................................

in due time, harris could end up being even better than pierce.

Yeah, and he could also end up being a second-tier player not capable being a productive starting PG. Pierce is a sure thing, Devin isn't. As for the original topic, Bonzi wouldn't solve any of our problems we have at SG, so I'm personally glad we didn't go for him.
