New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Bradley Beal
Washington Wizards Receive: Lonzo Ball, Jaxson Hayes, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Nicola Mellis, 2021 1st Round Pick (via LAL), 2023 1st Round Pick (via LAL), 2024 1st Round Pick (via LAL)
Bradley Beal would be the biggest piece changing teams in this deal. He would team up with Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson with the New Orleans Pelicans to create a bit of a big three.
The Pelicans have plenty of trade assets to send back to the Wizards if this deal were to happen. It begins with NBA Draft picks. The Pelicans have picks stocked up from the deal that sent Anthony Davis to Los Angeles.
Players like Lonzo Ball and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would give Westbrook help along the perimeter. Jaxson Hayes and Nicola Mellis are depth pieces that would benefit Washington.
Let’s break this deal down even further and see how it would help both sides during their rebuild.
