Zach Edey and NBA Draft Combine clears up trade market for Brandon Ingram and New Orleans Pelicans



Zach Edey and NBA Draft Combine clears up trade market for Brandon Ingram and New Orleans Pelicans

The way the NBA Draft Combine is going means the New Orleans Pelicans could draft someone like Zach Edey, Yves Missi, Kel’el Ware, or Kyle Filipowski to be their next starting center. Jake Madison explains how doing so makes it even easier to move Brandon Ingram in a trade this offseason. Plus, keep an eye out on Dalton Knecht, Donovan Clingan, and Rob Dillingham as trade up prospects for the Pels to put next to Zion Williamson.

  1. Boy i wish we don't trade bi, so i can hear you make up more dialog and pick another team on 2k, i wish we trade CJ3 too

  2. I like Edey. He can score. The Pels biggest problem last season was they would get into an offensive funk and no one could score. Edey can do that.

  3. You can teach shooting. Not so sure you can teach "motor".
    And I trust a senior to be less immature and less risk of being a waste of money and draft pick than a freshman.

  4. I don’t get the trade Ingram narrative like he was the only one who didn’t show up in playoffs the whole damn team didn’t show up

  5. Why would you go from Jonas to another slow plodding big man? That makes absolutely no sense

  6. Luka struggling in the playoffs against Lu Dort is indirectly raising BI’s value. He’s not as bad as he was in that series but yeah he does he need to b better. I don’t think they should trade him just yet. This team needs a real pg and it would b interesting to see how he and Zion look with a guy who can set the table for them

  7. Mr. ErryDat'rr 👈🏾 Thanks Jake. Let's be honest, no matter what shooter we draft, Willie won't let them play real minutes next season…..Trey…..JHawk…😒. I don't like trading anything to move up because this class is beyond weak.

  8. I love Zach Edey as prospect but I don't know if he can work on this team if Willie Green is the coach. Willie can't even figure out how to use JV I doubt he would use Edey. I really like Ware and Missi is nice too both could/would be more ideal fit that Willie would utilize due to them being long, athletic, rim protectors.

  9. One unlikely prospect that no one has talked about that I feel would be awesome is Devin Carter. Just feels to me like what Jose would be if he was 6’3. Gritty defender, solid inside scorer who can makes threes and most importantly to me is he averaged 8.3 RPG at 6’3. Missed Josh Hart’s ability to get way more rebounds than he should and I feel like Devin Carter would do just that

  10. We have enough good players eating up minutes so if you trade BI for multiple good players, this team will eventually fall apart from mediocrity. If you reset the timeline by trading BI for a young stud, Zion will force a trade before the young guy hits his prime in five years.

    The only good options are to keep BI or trade him for a potential all-star level player already hitting his prime. Anything else will fail.

  11. For as long as i can remember , this guy hasnt been right about anything pertaining to basketball . None of the trade possibilities that he has mentuoned has ever come to fruition.
    He says the team needs to shoot more threes yet wants to build the whole organization around the only guy who DOESNT shoot threes…
    This guy isnt a pels fan…hes just a Zion junkie…
    As long as we trade BI hes happy…and whoever who comes threatens Zion as the number one…he'll attack for the mext five years…bet..

  12. Trade BI for Jarret Allen and draft Bronny to lure in LBJ… now you have CJ, Herb, LBJ, Zion, and JA
