The Mavericks announced on their official web site Friday night that they had traded Greg Buckner to Minnesota for guard-forward Trenton Hassell, a six-year veteran who had played for two teams. At 6-5, 233, Hassell is a bigger player than Buckner, who is 6-4, 210. But Hassell, 28, is three years younger and will fill in the role of adding depth at shooting guard and small forward.

Great pick up by the Mavs!!! Hassell's shooting percentage is 49%. He has been compared to Bruce Bowen on the defensive end. Espn says he's Bruce Bowen without the 3 pt shot. The Mavs trade Buck and get a player that can not only shoot, but play very good solid defense. What's not to like about this trade?
