Apparently the New Orleans Pelicans haven’t given up on adding RJ Barrett to Zion Williamson to speed up their rebuild: the Pelicans are considering ways to acquire the #2 pick Memphis controls. Apparently the Grizzlies are not as sold on Ja Morant as they were earlier and the thinking is they might consider trading the pick for some of David Griffins’ Los Angeles bounty: Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart.
Given some of Griffins’ previous comments about Ingram we’d guess he’d prefer to keep him but he still could offer a package with some mix of Ball, Hart, the three first round draft picks and various current Pelicans.
