New Orleans Pelicans Receive: F/C Pascal Siakam
Toronto Raptors Receive: F Zion Williamson

For a deal like this to work, each player would have to have significant, and disparate, points in their favor.
That happens to be exactly what we’ve got in this case. Frankly, it’s a simple matter of availability vs potential.
