New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans may have slighter championship odds than any of the other four teams listed here. With that said, should they?

There is ample talent in the Big Easy. A trio of Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, and CJ McCollum should be elite offensively with good health. Could the Pelicans start adding players on the margins?

If they choose to, Oladipo could be a smart target. As with any of these teams, he’d be likely to feature in the second unit. With that said, the Pelicans have enough shooting in their starting lineup that he could run with them too.

His versatility would also benefit this team. The Pelicans are a little light at the point guard position, and Oladipo can cover it for stretches. All told, he could be a great addition to this club.
