Julian Wright Traded for Marco Belinelli

The Hornets were quite the busy team yesterday, taking part in two trades. The Times-Picayune reports on the smaller deal: “The New Orleans Hornets have sent forward Julian Wright to the Toronto Raptors for shooting guard Marco Belinelli, sources confirmed Wednesday. Belinelli, a 6-foot-5 three-year guard from Bologna, Italy, averaged 7.1 points per game last season, playing 17 minutes per game on average.”
