RJ Barrett excited by potential prospect of playing alongside Zion Williamson for New Orleans Pelicans

After shedding light on the importance of the Toronto Raptors playing in the NBA Finals for fellow Canadians and mentioning some advice passed down by his godfather Steve Nash, RJ Barrett claimed on ESPN’s The Jump today that he would be excited to play for either the New York Knicks or New Orleans Pelicans.

“We’re pretty sure we know where your old teammate’s going to get drafted by,” said Rachel Nichols. “Zion Williamson is going to wind up a New Orleans Pelican. So there are expectations of, hey, if they get in the position where they do need to trade Anthony Davis — and David Griffin has said he doesn’t want to trade Anthony Davis, but it sounds as if he’s at least listening to offers for Anthony Davis, one of those offers could come from the New York Knicks.
