Why The New Orleans Pelicans Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, this may not be an optimal deal for the Pelicans to some either. As constructed, they arguably need a distributor more than a shooter. 

Arguably. Personally, we’d disagree. Sure, the Pelicans started longtime off-guard CJ McCollum at the point in 2021-22. Here’s the thing – it actually looked pretty good. 

Having two shooters in the backcourt will be an asset for this team. Furthermore, they get additional playmaking in their front court from Williamson and Brandon Ingram. All told, Hield could be the perfect addition to this attack. 

Finally, the Pelicans may be young, but they’re firmly in win-now mode. After all, they have little incentive to tank.
