New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Collin Sexton, Taurean Prince

Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2024 1st Round Pick (via LAL), 2021 1st Round Pick (via WAS)

Collin Sexton has taken his game to the next level on both ends. Eric Bledsoe went back to New Orleans in the Holiday deal but is not a long-term answer. Sexton would take over at the top of the offense and become one of the team’s most important players.

In return, the Cavaliers would land some intriguing young players and draft capital. This could prove to be helpful in undergoing a full rebuild as they part ways with veterans like Andre Drummond and Kevin Love and add pieces through loaded draft classes.
