The Pelicans trade away arguably their best player for a potential generational player. This is a big move that sends away two first round picks, both of which to not end up too high. And potentially rebuild and build around Victor Wembanyama/Scoot Henderson/Brandon Miller. This also gives Herb Jones the starting nod and gives him a real chance to develope.
Pelicans Lineup:
PG: Jose Alvarado
SG: C.J McCollum
SF: Herb Jones (potentially Brandon Miller)
PF: Zion Williamson
C: Jonas Valanciunas (potentially Victor Wembanyama
Bench: Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance Jr., Jaxson Hayes.
