Pelicans acquiring Steven Adams from Thunder

NBA: Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder

The New Orleans Pelicans are acquiring Steven Adams from the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. The Pelicans lost incumbent starting center Derrick Favors to the Utah Jazz in free agency earlier Friday, and have since found a replacement. The deal will technically be folded into the Jrue Holiday blockbuster, as well as a draft night trade between the Pelicans and Nuggets. The Nuggets sent a protected future first-round pick to the Pelicans in exchange for the draft rights to R.J. Hampton, whom they took with a pick originally from Milwaukee. That future first-rounder, and a pair of second rounders, are going to the Thunder, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
