Would this trade make sense for the New Orleans Pelicans?
The issue for the New Orleans Pelicans is getting Zion Williamson on the floor. It has been made apparent the supporting cast as is currently is not up-to-par given how sorely they have struggled in Williamson’s absence.
In the offseason, the Pelicans were worried about Williamson’s passion to stick around long-term but it does not make a difference if he does not play. It has been his struggle since entering the league and something that needs to get fixed right away.
With that being said, it still has to be viewed as if Williamson is a long-term piece. If he is going to stick around long term, it would benefit the team to put more stars around him, which is where Karl-Anthony Towns comes into play.
Towns is an elite big man that can help take a team to the next level as a supercharged stretch-five alongside Williamson’s dominant interior presence at the four spot . Russell is another strong addition for a rebuilding team like New Orleans who can provide pull-up shooting and playmaking.
