  • “OK, let’s review. The Cavaliers on Thursday added veterans Ben Wallace and Joe Smith from the Bulls, as well as Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from the Sonics. The Pistons added Juan Dixon. Advantage Cavaliers, you say? ” (Detroit News)
  • “Trading little-used center Primoz Brezec to the Toronto Raptors for combo guard Juan Dixon should lead to two things: buying out backup guard Flip Murray and signing a veteran big man, perhaps Dale Davis.” (Detroit Free Press)
  • “It was a deal much more about the departure than the arrival, a swap of little for big, expiring contract for expiring contract. A tweak more than anything else. The Raptors made a small move at the NBA’s trade deadline yesterday, moving the unhappy Juan Dixon to the Detroit Pistons for Primoz Brezec, hardly a blockbuster but all that general manager Bryan Colangelo felt comfortable doing.” (Toronto Star)
  • “The Raptors may want to consider paying their players in euros. Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo pulled the trigger on a last-minute deal yesterday to bring 7-foor-1 Slovenian centre Primoz Brezec from the Detroit Pistions in exchange for little-used shooting guard Juan Dixon. The Raptors also picked up cash considerations in the deal. ” (Toronto Sun)
  • “Juan Dixon was doing very little as a Raptor and wasn’t being utilized to his full potential. With Calderon being a vastly superior player, the introduction of Dixon at the point was a significant drop-off and he never cracked the regular rotation, even falling behind Delfino at the PG spot. He was unhappy and felt that his talents deserved more playing time, obviously it wasn’t happening with the Raptors and Colangelo moved him.” (Arsenalist)
    “Farewell, Juan Dixon. We hardly knew ye…and we hardly cared. Minutes before today’s 3pm trade deadline, Juan “Sharpshooter Dullshooter” Dixon was traded to the Detroit Basketball Pistons for big ol’ Primoz Brezec, who now has the distinction of being traded TWICE in the same season. Brezec did have flashes of competence in Charlotte before Emeka earned center tenure, but he’s 7-footer softer than fresh bocconcini spread over a warm just-baked roll….mmmmmmm.” (The Dinosty)
