Why The New Orleans Pelicans Do The Deal
So, we’ve established that you need one offensive superstar to play for the NBA title. Do you need two?
That’s more debatable. It’s preferable to have two. At the same time, having complementary players around one star can be a more effective route.
It would be the one the Pelicans would be taking here. Bridges isn’t as dynamic of an offensive threat as Ingram. At the same time, he does have some shot-creation chops.
He’s also a vastly superior defender. That counts a lot when you’re playing with Williamson, who struggles on that end of the floor.

Would the Nets?
