New Orleans Pelicans: Trade Jrue Holiday for Wiggins and LaMelo Ball

Drafting LaMelo #2

Congrats! You have used your #2 pick to take LaMelo Ball, a bold move that could be a potential home run for the Pelicans.

By pairing LaMelo with his brother Lonzo Ball, you increase the chances of re-signing Lonzo at a discount and potentially have two of the best playmakers in the league on one team.

Here is your rotation:

PG: Lonzo Ball/LaMelo Ball

SG: Andrew Wiggins/ J.J. Redick

SF: Brandon Ingram/Josh Hart

PF: Zion Williamson/Nicolo Melli

C: Jaxson Hayes/Free Agent

This is a bold move, but one that could pay off. The Pelicans would have a nice rotation of guards, be much bigger and potentially better defensively.

This team would be very versatile defensively and would offer lineup combinations that would be tough to match up with on offense. They’d have two of the best playmakers in the league but would be taking a risk on Wiggins’ contract.

This move would make the Pelicans the epicenter of the NBA, a nightly highlight reel, and one of the most fun teams to watch. Well done!
