Vlad Radmanovic traded to Clippers for Chris Wilcox

[Kings113]

Press Release - Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor announced today that the team has acquired forward Vladimir Radmanovic from the Seattle SuperSonics in exchange for forward Chris Wilcox.

“Vladimir gives us versatility and he fits very well into our system,” Baylor said. “He’s agile and he runs the floor well. We see him playing multiple positions and his outside shooting will stretch the defense and be a big positive for our inside players.”

Radmanovic, in his fifth NBA season, has career averages of 10.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. The 6’10” Radmanovic is averaging 9.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 23.2 minutes per game this season. He set a new career-high with 30 points at New York on January 8, 2006 and is shooting a career-best .887 from the free throw line this season.

Pretty good trade for both teams. Clippers finally get a back-up SF (may start until Maggette's back), and a scorer off their weak bench. Sonics get rid of a whiner, and get back a young athletic big man to replace no-longer-used-on-way-out Evans/Fortson.

Wouldn't of minded getting Wilcox for Corliss.
