The Pelicans do have impressive performances in the second half of the season, after all, they can perform very well from the final stages of the regular season, and even into the playoffs and playoffs.
They still had a pleasant surprise performance against the Suns with the league's best record in the first round of the series, and the Pelicans ended the series 2-4. Even so, the Pelicans' performance is enough to satisfy fans and gives people greater expectations for their offseason this year.
But by the end of the year, how can the Pelicans improve their lineup? Us media Ben Stiner proposed a blockbuster deal involving Zion Williamson:
"The Pelicans were able to trade Zion Williamson to the Blazers to trade Damian Lillard, who have already done great without Zion and he's at risk of being vulnerable to injury. Lillard and McCollum have never partnered with a player like Ingram, and they could have a good future. ”
"As for the Blazers getting 21-year-old all-star rising stars."
It seems like a very interesting deal for both the Pelicans and the Blazers, and as he mentioned, even without Zion, the Pelicans are already doing very well, so being able to swap Lillard back with Zion allows the Pelicans to build a Big Three lineup of Lillard, McCollum and Ingram, which could be the lineup that will allow the Pelicans to storm the championship.
