Why The Trade Benefits The Pelicans
With the current state of the Pelicans, JJ Redick does not fit in. They are a rebuilding team and attempting to get younger.
In this deal, they would be able to acquire another intriguing young piece to what they are hoping is the future of the franchise.
The trade they made sending Jrue Holiday to Milwaukee clearly showed the plan for New Orleans. Ingram and Williamson are the future of the team, but Oubre could join them. He has had trouble finding a home during his time in the league. This is a chance to join a rebuilding team and take them to the next level. New Orleans will be quick to trade Redick if they find the right deal.
The Pelicans are going to be one of the most exciting teams to watch this season because of Williamson, but they are not expected to compete. If they decide to make a deal, it will be one that helps them get younger and better at the same time.
