Suns trade Alando Tucker to Timberwolves

The Phoenix Suns on Tuesday traded swingman Alando Tucker, a future conditional second-round draft pick and cash considerations to the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Jason Hart.

The Suns then waived Hart. Tucker was originally selected by the Suns in the first round of the 2007 draft at No. 29 overall out of Wisconsin.

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.
