Here's a closer look at grids 2 and 5: which New Orleans Pelicans players have also played for either the Miami Heat or the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Josh Richardson was a second-round pick by the Heat in 2015. He spent four seasons in Miami before he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019. He went on a journey after Philly, playing for four more teams including the Pelicans last season. Richardson became a free agent this summer and signed a contract with the Heat.

Meanwhile, Larry Nance Jr. played for both the Pelicans and Cavaliers. He started his career with the LA Lakers but was traded to Cleveland midway through his third season in the league. He ended up in New Orleans in Feb. 2022 and has been with them ever since.
