Like all teams in the NBA, the New Orleans Pelicans history is up and down when it comes to trades.
All trades carry a certain amount of risk, especially if draft picks are involved, as a team could trade away a pick that ends up becoming a future star.
This is also true when trading young players, as guys in their first few years in the league usually aren’t in their final form and could also end up becoming stars.
The Pelicans’ trade history isn’t great overall, but this particular trade with the 76ers worked out well for the New Orleans Pelicans and continues to pay dividends.
