The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have acquired a conditional future second round pick from the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for guard Rasual Butler.
“Today’s move allows us to increase our financial flexibility while at the same time gives us an opportunity to improve at that position,” said General Manager Jeff Bower. “Due to the depth we have, it will allow us to open up minutes and opportunities for Julian Wright, Morris Peterson and rookie Marcus Thornton, all of whom we anticipate great contributions from this season.”
Butler averaged 11.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 82 games for the Hornets last season. The seven-year veteran has been with the Hornets for the past four seasons.
