From the Timberwolves site:<\/a><\/p>\n “I want to thank Jason Hart for being a consummate professional with us,” said David Kahn, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. “This was a very hard trade to make precisely because Jason has been so helpful to our team both on and off the court. We wish him well.<\/em><\/p>\n “We are eager to have Alando join us this week. Everything we know about him is that he is a hard working young man who has not had the opportunity for significant playing time.<\/em><\/div>\n <\/p>\n In two-plus years with Phoenix, Tucker played in 47 games including 11 this season in which he averaged 3.9 points in 6.5 minutes.<\/em>
Hart appeared in only one game for the young and rebuilding Timberwolves this season. The nine-year veteran served as a mentor of sorts for younger point guards Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions.<\/em><\/div>\n
