They select the player first and then trade him, this way it works financially.

Pelicans get a top 3 picks to rebuild well, Trey and Herb are great, but are no building blocks going forward for this team.

Pacers get the best squad in the whole Nba after doing this

Haliburton / Jackson

Nembhard / Herb Jones / Sheppard

Trey Murphy / Nesmith

Siakam / Walker

Zubac / Huff
