Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Pelicans and the Nets.
Garrett Temple
Garrett Temple was undrafted out of LSU in the 2009 NBA Draft but worked his way into the league and has developed an impressive 13-year career as a journeyman.
He has played for multiple NBA teams (11 in total), including the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards, and Brooklyn Nets. His role has primarily been as a defensive specialist and a veteran presence in the locker room.
He’s been a key contributor on many of the teams he’s played on and has even started in almost 300 games in his career.

P.J. Brown
P.J. Brown, a tenacious power forward and center, enjoyed a prominent NBA career, known for his defensive tenacity and leadership.
After being drafted 29th overall by the New Jersey Nets in 1992, Brown truly shone during his tenure with the Miami Heat in the late ’90s. His reputation as a physical defender grew, setting him apart as a key contributor during playoff runs.
After stints with the Heat and Charlotte Hornets, Brown played pivotal roles with the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. Arguably, his career highlight was with the Celtics in 2008, when his veteran presence and defense helped the team secure an NBA Championship.
Derrick Favors
Derrick Favors was known for his tenacity on the boards and his ability to score in the paint. Selected third overall by the New Jersey Nets in the 2010 NBA Draft, Favors was traded to the Utah Jazz in his rookie season as part of the deal for Deron Williams.
In Utah, Favors blossomed into a solid power forward, regularly starting and making significant contributions on both ends of the floor. Over multiple seasons with the Jazz, he provided solid scoring and rebounding numbers, along with his sturdy defense.
While he might not have been an All-Star, Favors has had a solid NBA career, consistently contributing as a valuable team player and demonstrating his skills as a rebounder and interior scorer.
David Wesley
David Wesley began his professional career in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) after going undrafted in 1992. However, his talent and grit soon caught the eyes of the NBA scouts. He made his debut with the New Jersey Nets, and it didn’t take long for him to prove that he belonged in the NBA.
The bulk of Wesley’s career was spent with the Charlotte Hornets (later New Orleans), where he played from 1997 to 2005. In Charlotte, Wesley established himself as a reliable guard, capable of both scoring and playmaking. His backcourt partnership with Baron Davis is well remembered by Hornets’ fans.
After his stint with the Hornets, Wesley also played for the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Over his NBA career, he was known for his consistency, tenacity, and leadership both on and off the court.
