First and foremost, the New Orleans Pelicans should select whatever trade package puts them in the best imaginable shape moving forward. However, there’s more to it than just that. You see when a player of Davis’ magnitude is incorporated onto a new roster, the NBA feudal system can drastically alter. Those who were peasants a season ago can leap up to the top seemingly overnight.
Anthony Davis is still only 26-years-old and is entering the prime years of his career. He has missed 108 games due to injury over a seven-year span. But when healthy? The guy can compile stats comparable to NBA legends like Hakeem Olajuwon or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
