Hornets trade for Landry
The New Orleans Hornets have traded guard Marcus Thornton to the Sacramento Kings for forward Carl Landry.
The Hornets can some important depth in the frontcourt from Landry, who over 11 points and four rebounds per game.
However, the trade sends away a former LSU star who was very popular playing in the city where he played in college.
Thornton had the ability to put points on the board in a hurry, which was important on a team that doesn’t have a lot of big-time scorers.
Head coach Monty Williams said that the Hornets have one of the worst benches in the league and he hopes the move changes that.
