Report: Hornets receiving 3 2nd-round picks in KAT blockbuster

The Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle blockbuster trade is nearing the finish line.

The Charlotte Hornets are receiving three second-round picks (two from the New York Knicks and one from the Minnesota Timberwolves), DaQuan Jeffries, Charlie Brown Jr., and Duane Washington Jr. for joining the deal as a third team, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania, Jon Krawczynski, and Fred Katz.

Charlotte is also trading former second-round pick James Nnaji to New York, add Charania, Krawczynski, and Katz.

Nnaji has yet to play in the NBA after being selected No. 31 overall in 2023. The 6-foot-11 center has spent the last three seasons with Spanish club FC Barcelona. He's currently on loan with fellow Liga ACB team Girona.

The Hornets obtained $7.2 million in cash as well, sources told ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Here are the full details of the reported deal.
