Yeah, like we really need another guard.

Basically we traded one player that doesn't play for another player who
isn't going to play, hoo rah!

As a Raptor fan I said the same thing about Lindsay Hunter, but he
actually fared pretty well. I think it's all about system. Detroit's
coaching staff seems to have always been able to keep their players
playing to their style of efficient basketball.

This trade is a bit puzzeling. Dixon is a UFA and Brezac is not. This
may have been just a cap move for next season.

I think they wanted the big body to have more playoff experience, rumor has
it they will bring back DD for that insurance.
