It would be insane 😭 Maybe Memphis even throws in a future first.

You might be wondering: “Why wouldn’t New Orleans just draft Ja in the first place?”

Because Zion was a completely different type of prospect. In 2019, you’re not passing on a guy like Zion just to take Ja when you can draft Zion and then trade him for Ja + a future first.

And the biggest part of this whole what if? AD never gets traded.

Having Anthony Davis + Ja Morant together would’ve been insane for the Pelicans, and the ripple effect across the entire NBA would’ve been massive.

But the best part is maybe Ben wouldn’t be so sad saying:

“If the Pelicans are healthy, we’ll dominate the conference.”

That’s not gonna happen. Y’all are gonna be the 12th seed. 💀

…but maybe in this universe… 👀
