Jeff Peterson helped two teams pull off a blockbuster deal and the Charlotte Hornets got compensated for it.
Peterson, the Hornets’ president of basketball operations, agreed to acquire DaQuan Jeffries, a draft pick and cash considerations from the New York Knicks in a three-team trade sending Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota to New York in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo, according to multiple reports Friday night.
Jeffries, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound shooting guard, has played parts of four seasons in the NBA. He appeared in 17 games for the Knicks last season, averaging 0.8 points in 2.
