The Toronto Raptors traded guard Juan Dixon to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday for Primoz Brezec, a league source said Thursday afternoon.

Dixon has played 36 games this season and is averaging 4.3 points and 1.8 assists in 11-plus minutes per game.

Brezec has played 37 games this year, his first with Detroit after coming over from the Charlotte Bobcats in an early-season trade. He is averaging 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds.

Weird move, he's basically the same player as Flip Murray.

Did we need another combo guard?

How'd that "Piston for life" thing work out, Primoz?

[Joe Asberry]

yeah makes no sense, at least Primoz was 7 feet tall, maybe we dealt Flip too?

Another foreigner for the Raptors!

i dont get it, but i really like dixon.

he really started playing strong by the end of his tenure in washington.

im not thrilled, just because "why?" unless we dont trust stuckey and AA.

dixon is much better than murray. hes definitly a team guy.

You've seen him play, right?

He's a sniper (polite way of saying chucker).

I wouldn't have a problem with that, if we actually needed somebody like that.

[Timone]

He's rarely going to play.

[Glenn]

He's rarely going to play.

Which is why they should have kept Brezec, IMO.

On size alone.

I bet they saved money here, even a little.

lol wtf?

[Glenn]

I bet they saved money here, even a little.

lol, Dixon makes $200K less than Brezec, which probably pro-rates to $13.95
