Larry Nance Jr. was a Pelicans player on Friday night before going to sleep. By the time he went to bed, he was a Hawks player. That’s how quickly Larry Nance Jr.’s trade went, and that has left his wife Hailey far from happy.
After receiving the news of his trade, Mrs Nance took to social media to call out the manner and timing of the Pelicans’ management. She wrote on her X handle, “Getting traded right before kids bedtime is dirty work.. putting two fussy kids to bed by myself? Is Griff trying to kill me”. However, she later deleted the tweet.
The now-deleted post was for David Griffin, the VP of the Pelicans’ basketball operations. According to reports, the Pelicans traded Nance, along with Dyson Daniels, to the Hawks and two first-round picks for point guard Dejounte Murray. Nance played his part with the Pelicans as a role player. Since moving from the Blazers in 2022, Nance appeared in 135 regular-season games for the Pels and is becoming a journeyman of the league with his latest move.
Looking Back at Larry Nance Jr.’s NBA Career
Larry Nance started his NBA journey with the most successful Western team, the LA Lakers, in 2015 as their 27th pick. The offensive center showed his skills in Hollywood for more than two seasons. Even after being told to buy a house in LA, Nance saw himself get traded after the Lakers got a call from his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in February 2018.
Larry proudly suited up for the Cavs like his father and performed his duties for three seasons. In 2021, he was traded to the Portland Blazers, where he didn’t fit in. The franchise didn’t give him much opportunity and traded him to the New Orleans Pelicans in February 2022, within six months of his arrival.
Right after the trade, Larry underwent arthroscopic right knee surgery. Luckily, he returned in better shape and extended his two-year contract. At the Pelicans, he took young, talented players like Zion Williamson under his wings.
Now with the Hawks, Larry would be expected to do the same thing. The less experienced squad would gain a lot from his veteran presence. Apart from that, the Hawks’ strategy for him can be witnessed in the following season.
