The Hornets have themselves a new center and a new Plumlee.
Reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets have acquired center Mason Plumlee and the No. 37 pick from the Detroit Pistons for the No. 57 pick in tonight’s draft.
The acquisition of Plumlee comes as an offseason necessity for the Hornets as center Cody Zeller is set to hit free agency and likely to sign elsewhere.
