Pels trade lotto pick + Bledsoe for a good player in Brogdon whose decision making and shooting pair well with a talented but young Pelicans team who need consistency and spacing. Could potentially take another/multiple future 1st rders to get deal done but would be worth it for the young-ish vet.

Pels resign Lonzo who projects to improve year after year, consistency will be key but once he figures it out the ceiling of the Pelicans will be even higher.

Pels resign Hart, great hustle and glue guy. Needs to improve shooting/consistency from the 3pt line. I included this resigning but Pels may let him go due to the growth + cheap contract of Naji Marshall

Pels resign the real JJ for cheap. Good veteran/tough presence for a young pels team, does everything the right way. Can guard 3-5 effectively.

Pels sign Kelly Olynk. Great backup 4/5, should slot well in multiple lineups for a Pels team that desperately needs spacing. Pairs well down low on paper with Zion,Adams,Hayes, or Johnson.
