With so many options supposedly on the table and this likely being the most pivotal summer in the Pelicans tenure in New Orleans, if your GM Griffin, make your moves and build a team that would compete for next year's playoffs and beyond!
Keeping or trading AD is in play, stretching Solo is in play, etc. I know someone's been giving this some thought for almost a week now!! What u got?

1) draft Zion
2) if AD doesn’t opt in, send him to the Celtics for Tatum, Brown, cap fillers and picks.
3) Package 14 and 20 to get Doumbouya in the late lotto, Dylan windler at 27, BPA at 39
4) sign Brogdon to a 4 year deal.
5) Win the 2020 NBA Finals

Assuming Randle opts out:

Find trades to get Hill and Moore off the books.

Sign Kyrie Irving. Sign Davis to the richest contract extension in NBA history. Draft Zion.

Then go on to win "Not One, Not Two, Not Three, Not Four, Not Five, Not Six, Not Seven... Ayyy and when I say that I really believe it."

I'm torn between keeping AD and trading AD, so I'll do both..

Keep AD:
Draft Zion of course.

Randle opts out.

Hill is moved using a couple 2nds if possible, or send next years 1st top 5 protected. This should open up in the neighborhood of 25 million in cap space.

Sign Brogdon to a 4 year deal, should average in the neighborhood of 18 mil. Make it a S&T using Moore, which should have us around 15 million left over.

Sign Danny Green to a 2 year 10 mil deal.

Re-sign Payton to 2 years 8 mil.

Fill in the roster with vet mins.

Brogdon/Payton
Jrue/Frank
Green/Kenrich
Zion/Wood
AD/Okafor

2nd team doesnt offer much in the way of shooting, but they could be good enough to give a good amount of breathers to the 1st team.

Trade AD:

I'll give my 2 ideal trades.

AD to Boston with Cleveland involved:

Boston recieves:AD and Hill

Cleveland recieves: Hayward

NOP recieves: Tatum, Brown, JR Smith (waived), #14, #22, and Memphis pick

Still sign Brogdon to a deal using Moore as S&T, and I go after Brook Lopez also. Still re-sign Payton also.

I try to move #14 for a future 1st. With #22 draft a high upside guy for the GLeague team.

Brogdon/Payton
Jrue/Brown/Frank
Tatum/Brown
Zion/Kenrich
Lopez/Wood

2nd preferred trade:

AD to LA with Phoenix involved

LAL recieves: AD, Hill

Phoenix recieves: Ball

NOP recieves: Ingram, Hart, #4, #6 2020 pick swap, 21 unprotected 1st

I would still be keen on going after Brogdon here, because we would need his shooting. We also keep LOADS of cap space for other deals, or to take on a bad deal with a future asset.

Brogdon/Coby White
Jrue/Hart/Frank
Ingram/Kenrich
Zion/Doumbouya
Wood/Okafor

Depending on Ingram's injury, I'm kind of liking a potential Laker deal, depending on what we can flip Ball for
