T-Wolves Trade Hassell To Mavericks For Buckner

pretty even trade. both r pretty much the same.

This trade is pretty even, theres no need for it but Minnesota brings a veteran player. They do need a good veteran player so in that case, its a good move.

Dallas gets youth and a player in my opinion is better than Buckner.

Either way, pretty even trade.

Minnesota brought in a more cap-friendly contract. Buckner will be stuck behind Foye, Davis, McCants, Jaric (or whoever they get if they trade him)...even Telfair. But he won't whine as much as Hassel would, seeing how Trenton was an integral part of this team for the last..4 years?

Dallas needs a guy like this, who has proven to be a defensive guy in the playoffs in the past, significantly stopping for ex. Carmelo Anthony and really making life harder for Kobe (despite the fact Kobe drops 30 whenever he wants to).

Holy regular posters, Batman. Get out of here! *shakes fist*

And, who cares; he wasn't playing, anyway.

I don't know much about Buckner but all the Mavs got was a guy who will score 8 points in the first quarter and then will be invincible for the rest of the game.  Hassell wasn't even that good of a defender last year.  He couldn't stop anybody in crunch time.
