15 NBA players who look weird in new uniforms after trade deadline, starring Luka Doncic, Marcus Smart, and more
Here are the NBA players who were dealt at the trade deadline in their new uniforms.

Just about all of those players have debuted for their new teams so far, with the exception of Brandon Ingram joining the Raptors. It sure looks strange to see some of these guys in their new uniforms.
