NBA free agency has mostly ground to a halt in the last week, as money has dried up around the league and the remaining free agents who didn’t get a deal early have been left without a lot of options.

Among those is Josh Hart, as the Pelicans’ wing entered the offseason as a restricted free agent and had made clear that he hoped to find a new opportunity. However, as wing spots around the league got filled and offers weren’t coming his way, and the Pelicans likewise had their top plans fall apart, the two sides seemed to realize their best bet was to run it back in New Orleans.
