Brandon Ingram has been on the trade block since the summer as he entered the final year of his contract this season. The New Orleans Pelicans finally found him a new home less than 24 hours before the NBA trade deadline.

DENVER – Brandon Ingram will go down as one of the better players to wear a Pelicans uniform and be a key figurehead in the team’s transition into the post-Anthony Davis era. However, it was no surprise to see him traded on Wednesday night.

Wednesday, the eve of the trade deadline, ended up being Ingram’s last day as a Pelican. It's a trade that feels a lot like one the Saints made in early November when they traded Marshon Lattimore. Both Ingram and Lattimore will go down as arguably the best player at their position in their team's history. Both were plagued by injuries.
