After having Anthony Davis force his way out-- the Pelicans decide to leverage having a superstar on a rookie deal to make a tittle bid.
PELICANS- Now have two MVP candidates Williamson and Lillard with an All-Star, Graham. Thompson is a 20% downgrade at Center but at 40% of the $$$. Covington should fit the team well.
CELTICS- For taking on Adams bad contract, and giving up Marcus Smart to give Portland an additional first. They get Cam Reddish, a high second round pick and the 2024 unprotected Lakers pick. Also-- they get to dump Kemba Walker's salary.
TRAILBLAZERS- They get two promising young players and a ton of draft picks.
ATLANTA- Gets one of the better parameter defenders in the league-- who can come in and back up Young.
