Pelicans Transactions
11/26 – The Pelicans dealt Josh Hart, Darius Miller, and a 2022 2nd round pick to Philadelphia for Trey Burke, James Ennis, and a $2.34M trade exception.
New Orleans has operated without a true backup point guard this season. Josh Hart was expendable due to the presence of JJ Redick, E’Twaun Moore, and rookie Nickel Alexander-Walker. Burke can slot in alongside Jrue Holiday and spell Lonzo Ball. Ennis also allows them to take Kenrich Williams out of the rotation due to his struggles (37FG%).
On the Philadelphia side of things, Burke had already expressed his feelings about a lack of playing time with Ben Simmons averaging nearly 40 minutes per game ahead of him.
