The New Orleans Pelicans, for the past six seasons, were trying to build something special around a star duo of Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, but they ultimately gave it up. At February’s NBA trade deadline, the Pelicans decided to end the Brandon Ingram experiment by trading him to the Toronto Raptors. In exchange, the Pelicans received Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2031 second-round pick.
