re: I'm not sure how this team improves via trade

I would not be disappointed if the Pels stand pat with this roster. Play out the season, and lets see what happens. There's only one team I fear in the west is OKC. Memphis not far behind.

There is only one trade I would make, and that's if the other team would entertain it. Straight up trade that makes the Pelicans a serious contender for the title. Zion for Bam. Trust me. Zion is playing better, but it seems to me that when he sits the Pels play better. More ball movement. Bam is a force. A tenacious defender. Runs the court, durable, has a great inside game, and mid range game. I wouldn't make the trade if I was Pat Riley, but I would make the call if I was David Griffin.

Please, never ever consider trading Dyson Daniels, Herb Jones, Hawkins, Trey. It's hard to believe Pel fans, but this team is very close to contending for the west crown.

Trey is a spot up 3 point shooter and a dunker. He doesn’t come off screens, nor can create his own shot. He needs more work on dribble drives and finishing around the basket with defenders in his face. His defense is below average. I’d trade him all day while he has high value right now. Hawkins and Daniels to me can’t be touched
