The New Orleans Pelicans don’t have great odds in the NBA Draft Lottery to jump up to the top pick and draft Victor Wembanyama. But if they get lucky would the Pels draft him to pair with Zion Williamson or look to trade Wemby for a win now player. Jake Madison looks at the options for the Pelicans and puts out a few trade targets including Mikel Bridges, Desmond Bane, and Lauri Markkanen.

AD playing center now
Trade Zion and keep Wembananya for sure 😂😂😂
One chance out of 200. Well it's better than playing Louisiana Lotto. Good luck Pelicans…you can do it!
If the stars moon and heaven's align, there would be zero hesitation you would get Victor and you will tell Zion to get his fat * in shape ASAP.
Having him at center, the more I think about it would be absolutely monsterous for this team! I'm not going to see the team is unguardable but at that point…
I mean look at this lineup:
Zion (point)
BI (power forward)
Victor (center)
CJ (2- guard)
Herb (small forward)
Let's get real their positions are basically glorified labels at this point outside of center. But not only does Victor give you height but he also gives you great passing and speed to boot.
We should be easily able to put up +120 just about every game and up to go with elite rim protection.
I know it's a near 0% chance but if we got him….. We should go to the finals at the very least as long as there's no injuries.
That even if Zion does get injured at that point I honestly think Trey Murphy can pick up a lot of that slack, and while he can never replace zion which honestly nobody can I honestly think Trey Murphy has Superstar talent that's just being hindered by the fact that he's not a starter
With that said I want us to try and get Scoot Henderson 😂 I've been riding that train since the beginning and I'm still riding it now!!!
And I won't stop until my dreams crash and burn 😭😭😭😭😰
Yeah I'll take Wemby over anyone in the league
I just bought Wembys first rookie card, the SI kids cut out card. It's triple in value the last 3 months. I need this guy to be the GOAT
Trade him. This is the type of trade that you could get an ideal piece for the pelicans and receive a haul.
you forget something, its value, like Zion is way too good for a market like Nola. from there, the trade is not possible
