New Orleans Pelicans Receive: James Harden, Ben McLemore, Jae’Sean Tate

Houston Rockets Receive: Eric Bledsoe, Lonzo Ball, Jaxson Hayes, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 1st Round Pick (via LAL), 2023 1st Round Pick, 2024 1st Round Pick Swap (via MIL)

James Harden would not be alone going to the New Orleans Pelicans. Ben McLemore is another strong bench piece that would add depth to the Pelicans’ roster. They would have to give up a lot in this deal and could use as many pieces as possible.

Eric Bledsoe was sent in New Orleans in the deal that landed Holiday with the Milwaukee Bucks. New Orleans would also have to send Players such as Lonzo Ball, Jaxson Hayes, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Harden is worth draft picks as well. New Orleans could send three first-round picks and offer a swap in 2024.

It all depends if the Pelicans feel like they are one star away from competing. If so, let’s see how this trade would benefit both sides right away.
