Madison Square Garden loves two things above all else: try-hard role players and native New Yorkers. The Knicks just got both in one player in a deadline deal with the New Orleans Pelicans, turning the recently acquired Dalen Terry and two second-round picks into backup guard Jose Alvarado, according to ESPN.

The New York Knicks are acquiring guard Jose Alvarado from the New Orleans Pelicans, according to a person with knowledge of the trade deal.

Towns and Anunoby missed Friday night's loss to the Pistons, during which Hart sustained an injury that saw him exit the game in the third quarter. New York will have Jose Alvarado available for the first time since adding the guard in a trade before this week's deadline.

The New York Knicks added a new piece at the deadline.
