The Celtics made a long-awaited trade official yesterday, acquiring point guard Dan Dickau from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for a second-round choice in 2006. Dickau, who averaged 12.5 points playing for both Dallas and New Orleans last season, was acquired for the draft choice that Miami gave to Boston in a previous deal. Dickau started 46 of his 71 games last year and averaged 4.9 assists. After the Hornets acquired the 6-foot guard from Dallas, Dickau averaged 13.2 points, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 67 appearances.

Dickau a Good Fit
October 5, 2005
The deal came through late and it came through rather uneventfully, especially around here. But Dan Dickau is on the Celtics. Amid the annual September basketball doldrums and the frightening enormity of Hurricane Katrina, it is understandable a sign-and-trade deal involving a second-round pick wasn't going to ring newsroom bells in New Orleans. Or Boston.

Dan Dickau is a Celtic
Friday, August 26, 2005
Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed last night that the team has agreed in principle to a sign-and-trade deal with New Orleans that would land point guard Dan Dickau in Boston with a three-year contract worth an average of $2.5 million per year.
Ainge said some details of the deal still must be negotiated, including what the Celtics will give to the Hornets. New Orleans will receive a trade exception in the process.
Dickau, who is 6 feet, 190 pounds, visited Boston yesterday for a physical and chatted with members of the Celtics staff.
"He had a really great day," said Dickau's agent, Mark Bartelstein.
As a Celtic, Dickau will join a number of point guards (Delonte West, Marcus Banks, Orien Greene, Will Bynum) expected to compete for the starting job.
Dickau has three years [SEE ATTACHED CORRECTION] of NBA experience, with three teams: Atlanta, Portland, and New Orleans. As a starter for the Hornets for more than half of last season (46 games), he averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 assists in 31.0 minutes.
