## Resource

New Orleans Pelicans eye a blockbuster move for Ja Morant as the Memphis Grizzlies land a franchise-changing draft lottery pick. Could a trade involving Morant and Santi Aldama be the answer to the Pelicans’ big man woes? Jake Madison explores potential deals, lineup combinations featuring Zion Williamson and Dereck Lively II, and what Aldama’s skill set could add to New Orleans’ rotation. The conversation heats up around the Milwaukee Bucks shopping Giannis Antetokounmpo and the impact on the Pelicans’ future draft assets—are the Pelicans positioned to facilitate a major trade for rim-protector Myles Turner? Madison also breaks down James Borrego’s slim prospects of becoming head coach while highlighting player endorsements and organizational challenges. Will New Orleans risk future picks for immediate talent, or should patience prevail?
