Report: Knicks Trading Willy Hernangomez to Hornets

The Knicks have heeded Willy Hernangomez's trade request and will send the young center to the Hornets for forward Johnny O'Bryant and two future second-round picks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Yahoo! Sports' Shams Charania first reported that a deal was being finalized.

The picks the Knicks are receiving will reportedly be in 2020 and 2021, which provides an interesting symmetry—New York gave up their own 2020 second-round pick and a 2021 second rounder to acquire Hernangomez, himself a second-round pick in 2015, from the 76ers on the night Philadelphia drafted him in 2015.
