New Orleans Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans have the luxuries of both of the aforementioned teams. Like the Memphis Grizzlies, they have a deep collection of young talent that features Herbert Jones, Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy III, Jaxson Hayes, Dyson Daniels, Kira Lewis Jr., and Naji Marshall.
Not only do they retain the rights to all of their own future firsts, but they also own multiple selections from both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
On top of a collection of young talent that rivals the Memphis Grizzlies and one of the largest troves of future first-rounders in the NBA, the New Orleans Pelicans also employ two of the greatest talents under 25 years old in the league in Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.
Should New Orleans General Manager David Griffin decide that he’s willing to part ways with one of them in a trade for Durant — or any other superstar — the Pellies would already be starting with one of the best packages available.

Supplementing that package would some of their more complementary prospects and multiple future firsts would absolutely give New Orleans an unbeatable offer that Brooklyn would be wise to accept.
Something along the lines of Brandon Ingram, Dyson Daniels, and multiple draft picks would be a great deal to launch the Nets’ rebuild and leave plenty of talent in New Orleans to support Kevin Durant.
