Hornets Trade Darrell Armstrong To Dallas

Dickau
New Orleans - The Hornets have acquired guard Dan Dickau and a 2005 second round draft pick from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Darrell Armstrong.

“This move helps our team by letting Junior Harrington and Alex Garcia see more playing time,” said Hornets General Manager Allan Bristow. “We see bright futures for both of them and feel very comfortable with them receiving more minutes and continuing to develop.”

Armstrong, who was signed by the Hornets as a free agent on July 29, 2003, averaged 10.6 points and 4.0 assists in 93 total games for the team. He averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 points in 14 games this season.

“I’ve been very impressed with Junior and Alex and they’ve earned this opportunity,” said Hornets Head Coach Byron Scott. “Darrell is a true professional and a great veteran, but he is approaching the end of his career and this move will benefit the Hornets.”

Dickau had appeared in four games with the Mavericks this season, averaging 1.3 points in 4.0 minutes. The 6-0 guard has also played in Atlanta and Portland and holds career averages of 2.9 points and 1.3 assists in 97 games.

“This trade is a great example of how we will continue to make every effort to improve our team,” said Hornets Majority Owner George Shinn. “I’m confident that Allan and his staff are doing everything possible to make our organization better both at present and in the future.”


Damn, Dickau ain't worth shit...I don't see how this trade is fair at all, Armstrong is a proven starter, while Dickau is a 4th string bench warmer...LOL...If New Orleans wanted to get rid of Armstrong so bad, they might as well have cut him or gotten a better player for him...Even the Lakers could use him, for Chucky Atkins or Tierre Brown or something...Horrible trade, Dallas easily gets the better of it...PeACe

Dickau is crap.  He looks lost when he plays.  Armstrong is a pretty good energy type player, Id say Dallas did a good job on this one.

The only problems is that Armstrong is an old fucker. But he wouldnt have many minutes in Dallas anyway.

Not a bad trade, but Im still mad Dallas gave away Walker for Terry and Henderson.. what a horrible trade.

Brutal trade for the hornets. Atleast Armstrong will give you some energy, even though he is gettin up there in years, it's still the way better trade for Dallas.

well, this isn't big..they're both "eh" players in this league 

[Trauma-san]

The owners of the hornets (who likely had something to do with this) are fucking assholes, I should know.  Total bunch of dumbasses, they know literally nothing about how to run a proper team.

Looks like Dickau is doing fine in Darrel Armstrong's place...They've basically just traded places. I take back what I said about this being a horrible trade; at least Dickau has years ahead of him.

Players usually underachieve in Dallas.
