On May 11, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. The Pelicans were swept out of the playoffs by the Thunder in the first round of this year's playoffs, which led to ideas for future plans. In response, renowned journalist Michael Scotto spoke about the latest reports on the Pelicans' plans for this summer.

Ingram was previously revealed to be frustrated by DNP at key moments, and had argued with his coach for more balls. In response, Michael Scotto reported that rival executives believe that Ingram is most likely to be traded by the Pelicans this summer. Rival executives believe that the combination of Ingram and Zion is not ideal on the court.

Speaking about CJ McCollum, Michael Scotto said, "While CJ is not for sale, he is seen as a veteran in the team and a stabilizing factor in the team on and off the field. I think his name will be in trade talks, but I don't know if the Pelicans will trade him. ”

As a result, the Pelicans will build around Zion in the future. Michael Scotto said: "The Pelicans are going to build around Zion. I've heard that the Pelicans realize that their roster is a bit disjointed, and they're going to look for upgrades at various positions to improve the space on the court, rather than bringing in people who are hindering Zion's space on the court. ”

Valanciunas, meanwhile, is due to expire this summer, at which point he will become a full free agent. Michael Scotto said: "It looks like Valanciunas won't be signing a contract extension with the Pelicans this offseason. He's hindered Zion's breakaway on the court, and he's been on the bench for a lot of crunch time, and he's averaging nearly a double-double per game that could get the attention of other teams in the free agency. ”

Over the past few seasons, the Pelicans have been on the verge of making the playoffs, and even if they made the playoffs, they were eliminated early. For the future construction of the team, what big moves will the Pelicans make this summer? Let's wait and see.
