The New York Knicks will trade guard Wayne Ellington, forward Jeremy Tyler and a 2016 second-round pick to the Sacramento Kings for forwards Quincy Acy and Travis Outlaw, people with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

Outlaw is a solid scoring option off the bench, averaging 8.5 points per game on 42 % shooting in his nine year career with four different teams including the Portland Trailblazers, Los Angeles Clippers, the previously named New Jersey Nets and Sacramento Kings. Acy is a two year NBA veteran with two different teams already and has averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds per game as a member of the Toronto Raptors and Sacramento Kings.
