"The New Orleans Hornets' acquisition of backup point guard Jarrett Jack, center David Andersen and guard Marcus Banks from the Toronto Raptors has been made official, the team said Saturday night.

The Hornets have shipped forward Peja Stojakovic and guard Jerryd Bayless to the Raptors. But since Bayless was just obtained by New Orleans in a trade five days before the start of the regular season, he could not be involved in a multi-player deal until Dec. 23.

Therefore, the teams worked to make the trade of Bayless a separate swap, subject to league OK.

Neither Stojakovic nor Bayless was at the Hornets' practice at the Alario Center on Saturday morning.

Jack, Andersen and Banks are expected to join the team Monday in Los Angeles, when the Hornets play the Clippers at the Staples Center.

General Manager Dell Demps and Coach Monty Williams would not comment on the pending trade.

In Jack, a close personal friend of Hornets guard Chris Paul, New Orleans gets a solid backup point who could start for many NBA teams. In starting all 13 games for the Raptors this season, Jack has averaged 10.8 points and 4.5 assists. Jack, as Paul, entered the NBA in 2005 out of Georgia Tech."
