Why The Trade Would Benefit The Pelicans
New Orleans is a rebuilding team. One quick way to rebuild is to add one of the best players in the NBA and one of the best to ever do it.
Stephen Curry is without a doubt the best shooter of all time and has plenty of good years left on the court.
The Pelicans have made it clear that Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson are the future. Ingram signed a lucrative extension in the offseason while Williamson is preparing to play a full season healthy. Curry is a franchise changing player. The Pelicans already have their young core in place and Curry would just solidify their team.
The benefit for the Pelicans is simple. Acquiring one of the all-time greats is something that can change a team’s fortune right away. It is not something that happens every day, so New Orleans would certainly jump at this deal.
