Faces changing places

A look at some key players who changed teams on NBA trade deadline day:

Nene from Denver to Washington

Wizards hope the talented, injury-prone center brings some sanity to their locker room.

Hasheem Thabeet from Houston to Portland

The 7-foot-3 former Connecticut star was the No. 2 overall pick in 2009; played 23 minutes this season. Portland waived Greg Oden to make room for another draft bust.

Stephen Jackson from Golden State to San Antonio

Swingman has played for seven teams, including a previous stop with Spurs. Gregg Popovich hopes he can still shoot.

Javale Mcgee from Washington to Denver

Nuggets take on a wondrous athlete whose mind always seems to be on vacation. A dice roll.

Marcus Camby from Portland to Houston

Defensive wiz turns 38 next week but still averages nine rebounds. Rockets have needed a big man since losing Yao Ming.

Leandro Barbosa from Toronto to Indiana

“The Brazilian Blur” still speeds up the court, averaging 12 points in 22 minutes a game this season. Adds playoff experience too.

Gerald Wallace from Portland to New Jersey

Former All-star forward played hard on a hopeless Trail Blazers team; maybe he’ll cheer up Deron Williams.

Jonny Flynn from Houston to Portland

No. 6 pick in 2009 draft joins third team in 10 months. With Ray Felton struggling, maybe he gets another shot.

Richard Jefferson from San Antonio to Golden State

Disappointment with Spurs. Fourth straight season of declining production. Last chance in Bay Area?

Sam Young from Memphis to Philadelphia

Key player in Grizzlies’ ascent last season, not this year; 76ers say swingman will play two positions.
