The Wizards have acquired Mike James from New Orleans and Javaris Crittenton from Memphis in a three-team deal that sends Antonio Daniels from Washington to New Orleans.
Washington returns a conditional first-round pick it acquired from Memphis (in the 2007 trade for the draft rights to Juan Carlos Navarro). The Hornets also receive a conditional second-rounnd pick from the Grizzlies. The Wizards waived guard Dee Brown to clear a roster spot.
Memphis had been trying to ease its backcourt logjam and was reported to have been in talks with Washington on a straight-up swap of Crittenton for the draft pick. The Wizards get some guard help with Gilbert Arenas, the $111 million man, on the shelf until well into January after surgery on his troublesome left knee.
