Sources: Hornets acquire Courtney Lee as part of three-team deal (Yahoo Sports)

The Charlotte Hornets are acquiring guard Courtney Lee from the Memphis Grizzlies, who are getting center Chris Andersen from the Miami Heat, as part of a three-team, four-player trade, league sources told The Vertical.

The Hornets are sending point guard Brian Roberts to the Heat and swingman P.J. Hairston to the Grizzlies, who are also receiving a pair of second-rounds picks each from both the Heat and Hornets.

One of the Heat’s second-round picks going to Memphis is heavily protected. The deal also is a significant cost-saving move for Miami.
