Hornets trade Aldrich, Peterson to Thunder
New York, NY (Sports Network) - The New Orleans Hornets traded their first- round pick center Cole Aldrich along with guard Morris Peterson to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a pair of lower first-round picks.
The swap was reported by multiple media outlets. Aldrich was taken 11th overall out of Kansas and Peterson played the last three seasons in New Orleans, averaging 7.1 points and shooting 38.5 percent from three-point range with 62 triples.
The Hornets used the picks to select Kentucky point guard Eric Bledsoe at No. 18 and Iowa State forward Craig Brackins with the 21st selection. Bledsoe was then reportedly shipped to the Clippers for a future first-round pick.
