This offseason for the New Orleans Pelicans has mostly been dominated by talk of two things: Whether Zion Williamson is going to stay and the free agency of Lonzo Ball.
Ball ended up going to the Bulls in a sign-and-trade and the national media wrote endless articles about how it would affect the Bulls, the Pels, and eventually the latter’s ability to re-sign their superstar.
The Pelicans also made a big trade to acquire Jonas Valanciunas, another move that got plenty of attention as fans and writers tried to dissect what it would mean for the New Orleans Pelicans.
