Sleeper Team
Dallas Mavericks
Keep Luka Doncic and deal Dennis Smith Jr.; keep DeAndre Jordan and say goodbye to Harrison Barnes. Throw in a mesh of young talent and a draft pick and hope the Pelicans bite. Mark Cuban, make it happen!
Dallas record: 22-27, 12th in West
Dallas receives: Anthony Davis
New Orleans receives: Dennis Smith Jr., Harrison Barnes, Jalen Brunson, and a 2020 1st Round Draft Pick
Three-Team Special
A Pelicans-Lakers-Wizards could be a masterpiece waiting to happen, or it could be a dream. Either way, this would be great to see for each team and works financially.
New Orleans receives: Bradley Beal, Ivica Zubac and Rajon Rondo, and a Lakers 2020 1st Round Draft Pick
Los Angeles receives: Anthony Davis and Wizards 2021 1st Round Draft Pick,
Washington receives: Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, E’Twaun Moore, and Lakers 2021 2nd Round Draft Pick
Twitter would shut down for 24 hours, but the Wizards have a chance at rebuilding the right way around John Wall if they move Bradley Beal. What better way to get in on the action with the Lakers and get a duo of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram or Kyle Kuzma to choose from.
The Pelicans would make out with Beal under contract and don’t be surprised if Mirotic or Julius Randle gets moved in a three-team deal outside of Washington or Los Angeles.
