Syracuse Orange in the NBA: New home for Elijah Hughes

The NBA Trading Deadline is today and we’ve already seen one former Syracuse Orange player change teams. Yesterday the Utah Jazz sent Elijah Hughes to the Portland Trailblazers

The Utah Jazz are acquiring guard Portland’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker and the Spurs’ Juancho Hernangomez in a three-way deal, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs gets guard Tomas Satoransky and a second-round pick, and the Blazers get Joe Ingles, Elijah Hughes and a second-round pick.

The move should allow Elijah to get more time as Portland strips down their roster to rebuild.
