Lone Wolf Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=14810 Sources close to the situation have told HOOPSWORLD that the Minnesota Timberwolves have dealt point guard Jason Hart to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Alando Tucker and a second round pick. Phoenix has agreed to pay Tucker's remaining salary (i.e., cash). Hart was nearly dealt to the New Orleans Hornets for Devin Brown but the deal hit a snag last night. There has been some speculation that New Orleans pulled out because they have another deal in place involving Brown. When a deal couldn't be worked out last night, Minnesota turned to Phoenix and pulled the trigger on this deal. Alando Tucker has averaged 3.9 points in 6.5 minutes this season but the second-year forward's role will likely grow in Minnesota. Jason Hart has played very little this season but as a non-guaranteed contract, he can be waived in order to clear cap space for the Suns.

MainEv3nt Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 suns won this deal, jason hart is pretty good. the jazz shoulda kept him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm not fond of this trade though. We already have Goran Dragic who has proven himself to be a decent bench player. I'd like to see what Jason Hart can do for us though cause Tucker rarely got any minutes as a Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaDoink Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 We didn't even play Tucker and Hart can definitely be a good presence off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hart got waived right after the deal has taken place. Strange how the Hornets wanted to trade Devin Brown though. I thought he is doing good at the 2 spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenneral Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Tucker was a beast in college. I hope he sees an extended role now with his new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Maybe he can get some playing time with the Wolves. I hope so cause his actually a pretty good player, wouldn't want to see his talent go to waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Timberwolves definitely won this trade. Tucker is a talented player he just needs to find the right role on a team, it seems like no rookies adjust themselves in Phoenix well. Plus, they also got a 2nd rounder in this swap.

Newman Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Not to mention that Phoenix is paying his salary as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
