KNICKS GET 2ND-ROUNDER HARRELLSON FOR CASH

The New York Knicks acquired the rights to center Josh Harrellson from the New Orleans Hornets for cash considerations.

What does it give the New York Knicks
The Knicks have a lot of talent overall but have struggled to find much consistent production from the center spot. While Harrellson doesn't appear likely to solve their issues there, he's a useful depth addition and comes at a low price.

What does it give the New Orleans Pelicans
Always in cost-cutting mode, New Orleans obviously didn't feel the need to add a second-rounder, so do a solid job to get some cash to help with their existing roster.
