This is all of it.
AFTERNOON UPDATE: The Wizards pulled off the first trade of the off-season today when they sent Courtney Alexander to the Hornets in return for the No. 17 pick.
The Hornets used a previous $1.9 million trade exception to make the deal work.
"I think the NBA is about opportunities . . . It's another opportunity for me in my career," Alexander told the Washington Post.
Insider first reported that the two teams were talking on Friday. The question now is whether the Wizards will keep the pick and select either Bostjan Nachbar, Jiri Welsch or Dan Dickau (three players they covet) or whether they will move this pick onto Denver.
Insider reported Monday that the Wizards and Nuggets were talking about a swap (in anticipation of this trade) that would send James Posey to D.C. in return for the 17th pick and Tyronn Lue. A Nuggets source told Insider that the Nuggets have received several offers for Posey and are still mulling their options.
