In the 2021 offseason, the Pelicans and the Grizzlies conducted a trade, the Grizzlies recieved:
10 overall (Ziaire Williams)
Steven Adams
Eric Bledsoe on a pseudo-expiring contract
A top-10 protected Laker first (conveyed to 2 2nds). 40 in 2022

The Pelicans recieved:
17th overall (Trey Murphy)
Jonas Valanciunas
51 in 2022
~19 M in cap space

After Free Agency, the deal would be looped into the Pelicans S&T of Devonte Graham for a lottery-protected Pelican 1st in conjunction with the Ball S&T in order for New Orleans to operate as an over-the-cap team thus netting the trade exception used to bring in Larry Nance Jr. ~ 6 months later. The Grizzlies turned Bledsoe into Pat Bev, Rondo, and Daniel Oturu.

At the time the deal was looking at a win-win, even with all of the negativity on the Pelicans that offseason, but just about everything since then has gone south for Memphis.

Lol my comment wasn't sarcastic. Quit being defensive and actually read what I'm saying
