New Orleans Pelicans: Trade with the Knicks and Thunder for Chris Paul

According to reports, the Thunder are looking for a first-round draft pick and a player on a rookie deal in return for Chris Paul. But what if they could get more?

The Pelicans want some roster balance, future cap space and to add some depth. Let’s make it all happen.

This would be a blockbuster deal for sure and one that would get all three teams something they need. It would definitely be a risk, especially for the Knicks, but would this be enough to move the needle?

Let’s take a look at why all three teams would at least listen to this deal if it were on the table.
