Would this trade make sense for the New Orleans Pelicans?

The New Orleans Pelicans have not been able to build a winner with Brandon Ingram in the lineup and this is where the front office could have a decision to make. If Zion Williamson is the future, Ingram will be the trade piece and this is where it could come into play.

Devonte’ Graham was a huge addition for the Pelicans in the offseason in terms of adding more sharpshooting to surround Zion Williamson with in the half-court offense.

Now, the Pelicans could get some more young pieces for the future, which is where Collin Sexton comes into play. He has shown to be quite an impressive scorer but still has some areas to grow. He could do that in New Orleans as the clear perimeter focus.

Lauri Markkanen, when healthy, is an impact big man that could help the rotation — providing further sharpshooting for the Pelicans around Williamson. The downside is giving the Pelicans an injury-prone frontcourt but that is what they will have to roll the dice on.
