Hornets acquire Montrezl Harrell for Ish Smith and Vernon Carey

The NBA trade deadline was alive and well on Thursday as teams around the league looked to add, or subtract, their chances at a long run in the postseason.

For the Charlotte Hornets, they bolstered their front court depth by adding Montreal Harrell from the Washington Wizards in return for Ish Smith and Vernon Carey Jr.

The Hornets were known to be in the market for an upgrade at the center position but landed Harrell to add depth to their bench unit. Harrell now reunites with Terry Rozier, who were college teammates at Louisville.

In 46 games with the Wizards this season, Harrell averaged 14.1 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
