Steven Adams was traded from the Thunder to the Pelicans on Saturday, ending his seven-year tenure in Oklahoma City.
Adams and the Pelicans agreed Monday on a two-year, $35 million extension that will keep the 7-foot center in New Orleans through the 2023 season, according to ESPN’s Zach Lowe.
The Thunder received a 2023 first-round pick (via Denver), two second round picks, George Hill, Darius Miller, Kenrich Williams, Zylan Cheatham and Josh Gray in exchange for Adams.
“Steven Adams will hold a special place in our organizational legacy,” general manager Sam Presti said in a statement Tuesday.
