The Charlotte Hornets have acquired Nicolas Batum from the Portland Trail Blazers for Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson.

The Blazers have been shopping Batum in recent days.

Henderson gives the Blazers a solid shooting guard to plug into the lineup with Arron Afflalo opting out of his contract, while Vonleh was a lottery pick last year.

LaMarcus Aldridge was aware of the deal and the Blazers feel it gives them greater financial flexibility and a young talent in Vonleh.

Batum has one season remaining on his contract.
