This trade probably doesn't happen, but if the Warriors somehow get to a position where they can keep Hield despite their high payroll and make this trade work by giving away picks or Hield gets injured and the Warriors need something to keep one of their last years of contention for a while alive, this might happen.

• Trey Murphy III, Moody, and Podz are a great future

• Pelicans have a lot of chemistry after this. Barrett and Zion were teammates at Duke and Hield and Looney just spent a season together

• Kuminga for Monk and a top 8-protected first makes sense

• Malik Monk and a top 8-protected first for Barrett, who is redundant with the other players on the Raptors' roster, also makes sense
