Bulls Trade Aaron Gray to Hornets For Devin Brown

According to Bulls.com, the Bulls have traded Aaron Gray to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Devin Brown.

January 25, 2010 — The Chicago Bulls announced today that the team has acquired guard Devin Brown from the New Orleans Hornets for center Aaron Gray.

“We’re excited to add Devin Brown to our team,” said Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman. “His toughness, defensive versatility, and shooting will be excellent additions to our perimeter rotation.”

This is a solid addition for the Bulls. Brown gives the Bulls more depth and size in the back court, and it is basically a free acquisition personnel wise, as Vinny Del Negro has played Aaron Gray very little this season.

According to Shamsports.com, the Bulls will take on an additional $107,075 in salary with this trade.

I think this trade will prove to be meaningless for both teams. I think I would rather have Aaron Gray than Devin Brown though, especially with two of the Bulls big men (Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah) suffering from plantar fascitis.

Update:

Devin Brown has a trade kicker in his contract, so the Bulls will be taking on more than $107,075 in salary commitment from this trade.
