Pelicans: -Shedding Zion's massive 4-year contract while acquiring a frp, two seconds, and Deandre Ayton, another former first overall pick with potential, who comes with a shorter 2-year deal.

Blazers: -Adding 24yo Zion Williamson, who fits with Portland timeline and can significantly elevate the team ceiling if he stays healthy. Moving on from Ayton clears room for their 7th pick, Donovan Clingan, who has shown starter potential this season but needs more playing time.
