The rumored trade between Sacramento and Houston became official on Wednesday as the Kings acquired guard/forward Alonzo Gee, guard Scotty Hopson and a trade exception in return for veteran guard Jason Terry and two future second-round draft picks. Terry had expressed his desire to be traded to a playoff contending team.

Gee comes to the Kings after playing four seasons in Cleveland. He has also played for Washington, Toronto and San Antonio. For his career, Gee has averaged 7.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 24.1 minutes per game. He has a .451 field goal shooting percentage.

Hopson was undrafted out of the University of Tennessee. He appeared in two games for Cleveland last season. Hopson was traded to Houston during the offseason.

Terry is a 15-year veteran who averages 15.4 points per game. Due to injury, Terry never played in a game for Sacramento.
