Denver Nuggets Receive: Lonzo Ball

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Will Barton, Bol Bol, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2023 2nd Round Pick

The New Orleans Pelicans have said recently that they are not interested in trading Lonzo Ball moving forward but that could change. There will be plenty of teams interested if he is on the market.

Denver would not have to give up much in this deal. Will Barton and two draft picks should be enough to get it done moving forward. They would have decisions to make on Ball once the season is complete.
