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.

The New Orleans Pelicans are trading Brandon Ingram to the Toronto Raptors, according to Shams Charania. In exchange for the former All-Star forward, the Pelicans will receive Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk,

Zion Williamson is in a similar boat to Ingram. The Pelicans did elect to extend the former Duke University star, but his injury history is a massive concern. He's played 14 games this year. He'll still be on the roster after Thursday's deadline, but it's possible New Orleans will consider moving on from the injury-prone star soon.
