The New Orleans Pelicans shook the NBA world at its very core by trading away former franchise cornerstone, Anthony Davis, to the Los Angeles Lakers. But it seems like David Griffin and company are just getting started. In the trade, they received the rights to the Lakers’ fourth overall selection, which opens up a world of possibilities.
There’s still the chance the Pelicans utilize the pick and select a prospect to team alongside their phenom, Zion Williamson. Or could they shop it in the open market and see what value they could get in return. Yeah, that’s going to be the million dollar question as we get closer to the 2019 NBA Draft: Keep the pick and add another rookie alongside Zion Williamson or move it for a player who will come in and impact the rebuild.
