The Charlotte Hornets have sent Johnny O’Bryant, a 2020 second-round pick, and a 2021 second-round pick to the New York Knicks for Willy Hernangomez.
This trade is a stunner. There were no reports whatsoever claiming the Hornets were pursuing the young European center.
Sources: Charlotte is sending Johnny O'Bryant and two second-round draft picks to the Knicks for Willy Hernangomez.

It is far too early to tell if the Charlotte Hornets won or lost this trade. It seems like the Hornets ended up with the best player in this trade, though we won’t know for sure what those picks will become until 2021.
