BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics acquired point guard Dan Dickau from the New Orleans Hornets on Friday in exchange for a second-round choice in 2006.

 

Dickau, who averaged 12.5 points playing for both Dallas and New Orleans last season, was acquired for the draft choice that Miami gave to Boston in a previous deal.

 

Dickau started 46 of his 71 games last year and averaged 4.9 assists. After the Hornets acquired the 6-foot guard from Dallas, Dickau averaged 13.2 points, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 67 appearances. The Hornets will play 35 home games in Oklahoma City this season because of hurricane damage in New Orleans.

 

Dickau, the 28th selection in the 2002 draft by Sacramento, averaged 3.7 points and 1.7 assists in his first season with Atlanta. In his second season, Dickau averaged 2.2 points in 43 appearances with Atlanta and Portland.

This guy any good?

This guy any good?

 

Yes. 13.2 ppg, 5.2 apg in 67 games as a Hornet last year.

 

The guy has been traded 6 times already. He will enter his 4th season in the NBA.

 

From Kings to Hawks

From Hawks to Blazers

From Blazers to Warriors

From Warriors to Mavericks

From Mavericks to Hornets

Now from Hornets to Celtics

I see him as a poor-mans Steve Nash for some reason .....

I like this trade A LOT. Dickau is a pretty underrated guy, and did very well on a subpar team last year. Hopefully he will add as much as I'm hoping he can.
