The New Orleans Pelicans are seeking a quick rebuild by trading Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers. Selecting Zion Williamson with the first overall pick will enable the team to move past the Anthony Davis saga a bit more easily.
Filling out the roster around Williamson, Jrue Holiday, and the trade haul is the next step of the process. Ensuring Williamson’s tenure is more successful than the Davis years will be difficult. That process of building a winning roster around Williamson will also determine the fate of the new front office.
David Griffin got his asking price for Davis.
