Reports: Raptors, Hornets settle on trade

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Confirmation of a reported five-player trade between the New Orleans Hornets and Toronto Raptors was still pending Saturday.

The reported deal would send Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless to Toronto in exchange for Jarrett Jack, David Andersen and Marcus Banks, ESPN.com reported.

Sources told the Web site the deal would be announced later in the day.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune said Stojakovic and Bayless were not at the Hornets' practice Saturday. Team officials had no comment.

The newspaper said Jack is a good friend of Hornets star Chris Paul while the veteran Stojakovic was in the final year of his contract and had fallen out of the starting lineup for a period this season.
