There it is, folks. The lottery happened and the Knicks dropped down. I thought for sure they’d drop to fifth and it felt like a certainty when the Lakers jumped the line. Nevertheless here we are. Zion Williamson will go to New Orleans and help David Griffin try to salvage the Pelicans’ immediate future. Whether he’s enough to keep Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday engaged is the millions-of-dollars question.
Yea maybe they’ll have to settle for a lesser prospect but at least they save a couple bucks in salary cap space.
