The New Orleans Pelicans put together perhaps the most impressive and promising young core in the league. Even so, it feels like they still need to move a couple of pieces around to put an end to their woes and become the contender they could be. The Pelicans looked overwhelmed, unconfident, and inexperienced (as expected) in the Orlando bubble. They lost games they should and could have won and it’s pretty clear that they need another go-to-scorer and a guy that can anchor their defense in the paint. Obviously, they’re hoping Zion Williamson will be a full-go next season without any kinds of minutes restrictions. Even so, and despite Brandon Ingram’s All-Star season, the Pelicans must do a better job at surrounding him by elite talent. They can offer Jrue Holiday, Josh Hart, Jaxson Hayes, JJ Redick, and a couple of picks to add another star to their promising core. But who’d be the better fit? Let’s break it down:

  1. Victor Oladipo The Indiana Pacers have learned how to win without Victor Oladipo. And if TJ Warren continues to blossom as a scorer, the injury-prone shooting guard could become even more expendable. That’s when the Pelicans make a move and gamble on him. Oladipo is one of the most talented two-way players in the league. When healthy, he can put a team in his shoulders and carry the load. He can run the point or play off the ball, and his skills match up perfectly next to the Pelicans’ core, even though he’s not the best three-point shooter in the league.
