The New Orleans Pelicans have tough decisions to make when it comes to Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart.
Both players have looked like they can and should be part of the Pelicans’ core at times but there is also a question about their long-term fit around Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.
Lonzo Ball seems like the perfect type of player to put around Zion but the Pels may be uncomfortable shelling out a five-year max deal to keep him, which is almost certainly what they would have to do if they do not trade him before the deadline.
