Ahead of the NBA draft, the New Orleans Pelicans sent Olynyk to the Wizards along with CJ McCollum and a future second-round pick. The Pelicans received Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey and the No. 40 pick in return.

Days after landing Luke Kornet, the Spurs have added a stretch five in Kelly Olynyk in a trade with the Wizards, sending Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick to Washington, a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN and confirmed by multiple other reports.

Washington and Kelly Olynyk barely got to know one another, as the Wizards dealt the newly acquired big man to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, according to an ESPN report.
