With 2019’s top pick Zion Williamson making his return this coming season, the Pelicans likely have their sights set on an NBA playoff berth.
With multiple winning plays now, New Orleans could at some point look to leverage their supply of Lakers picks to add even more depth to their core.
To make deals, the Pelicans will need first-round picks, the currency of the NBA’s trade market.
