The Hornets traded Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska and a 2nd round pick to the Rockets and Marcus Vinicius to the Grizzlies.

Wells has now played in 569 games (275 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 25.8 minutes, 12.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He could wind up pushing Morris Peterson to the bench in New Orleans.

He was having a poor shooting year for the Rockets as he only was hitting 35% from the floor and 78.6% from the free throw line.

James has hit 42.6% of his shots from the floor, 37.9% from three point range and 80.2% from the free throw line in his career. James was a good addition to the Hornets as he can give Chris Paul a breather every night.

Jackson has only shot 39.2% from the floor and 81.6% from the free throw line.
