The Pelicans and Kings agree on this 11th hour deal. The Pelicans do this to move a position of strength/depth for a position of need. I'll miss the double/double machine in Zubac, but Branham fills the SG role for me with Scoot at PG. Thanks for the easy negotiations. Kings to confirm.

C Ivica Zubac, $7.0m(2027)
Pelicans pay $7.0M in 2025 on Zubac. That is 25% of the contract.
