This trade almost guarantees contention for NOLA. Also, the Warriors capitalize on the biggest return they will ever receive, including 7 first-round picks, young stud Trey Murphy III, former lottery pick and defensive prospect Dyson Daniels, and CJ McCollum who they can send to any desperate contending team for picks or young players. Possible CJ McCollum locations include Knicks, Heat, Nets, or Bulls. This asset flip wouldn't foster a huge return but a first-round pick and a young player would only add to the value the warriors get. The Pelicans heavily space the floor for Zion and Ingram by adding Curry. Lottery pick Joradan Hawkins also gets a chance to study under Curry and he would gain a lot from that. The Pelicans still keep a future having Zion, BI, Herb, and Hawkins likely to stick around for most of their careers, while starting up a championship window. Next moves for the Pelicans to make: sign Matt Ryan to a minimum and sign Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a minimum. Also add more players to the now available two-way spots. Pelicans starting lineup: Pg: Curry Sg: Herb Sf: Ingram Pf: Zion C: Jonas Bench: Pg: Jose Sg: Hawkins Sf: Matt Ryan Pf: Naji C: Looney

Warriors future: Dyson, Moody, Brandin, Kuminga, Trey Murphy III, and 5 firsts over the next 3 years(3 firsts in 2024)
