CHARLOTTE Got a go-to scorer they so sorely need in F Adam Morrison.
CHICAGO Made post scoring a priority by trading rights to No. 2 pick F-C LaMarcus Aldridge to Portland for No. 4 pick F Tyrus Thomas and addressed backcourt size by trading rights to swingman Rodney Carney, the 16th pick, to Philadelphia for PG Thabo Sefolosha.
CLEVELAND The Cavaliers get an energetic and athletic backcourt man in G Shannon Brown, the 25th pick, who can make shots and should be able to play off LeBron James.

INDIANA F Shawne Williams gives the Pacers more athleticism and versatility in the frontcourt.
