Raptors acquire Julian Wright from Hornets

Basketball Betting Lines

08/11/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Raptors have acquired forward Julian Wright from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for guard Marco Belinelli.

The 13th overall selection by the Hornets in the 2007 draft, Wright played in a career-high 68 games last season, averaging 3.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.

In 179 contests (34 starts) with New Orleans, the 6-foot-8, 225-pounder has averages of 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds.

"This move should help balance the roster and alleviate some of the redundancy we have with our guards," said Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo. "Julian is another young athletic player that will add depth at the small forward position."

Toronto acquired Belinelli from Golden State on July 30, 2009 for forward Devean George and cash considerations. The 6-foot-5, 200-pounder averaged 7.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 66 games for the Raptors last season.

In 141 career games (24 starts) with the Warriors and Raptors, Belinelli has averages of 6.6 points, 1.4 assists, and 1.4 rebounds.
