Pelicans start selling and complete 1 for 2 transactions! There is still follow-up operation? Want to change to Tanhua Lottery and choose Maidi

On June 18, news came out of the league today that the Pelicans and the Pacers completed a 1-for-2 deal. The Pelicans gave the Pacers' first round pick in 2026, and exchanged the Pacers for the signing rights of this year's No. 23 and Mohavie King. After the completion of this deal, the Pelicans have the 7th and No. 23rd picks of this year. After the Pacers completed this deal, they have 4 tradeable first round picks this summer. In this case, I think the Pacers may make big deals, of course, it may also be to reduce expenses.
The reason why the Pelicans do this is that they want to complete the reconstruction this summer. The Pelicans were previously rumored that the team will start selling, and all players in the team can be sold, even including the team's core Zion, Murray and Trey Murphy. Murphy and Jones were still not sold at the end of this year's trading date, but now they have changed their words. It's clear that the Pelicans want to completely rebuild.
They still have a high asking price for Murphy. According to famous reporter Chris, the team has a very high asking price for Murphy. They want a veteran who can play for some time in the playoffs, a good young player and multiple first-round picks as the starting price. It is probably because he saw Bain's deal that made the Grizzlies make so much money, so the Pelicans also hope to get enough chips from Murphy. The news now is that many teams are interested in Murphy.
As for the two major stars of the team, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell at a high price. Everyone knows that Zion is very good at his talent and ability. Even if he only relies on talent, he is still at the level of the active league superstar. However, his problem is obvious. His attendance rate cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, he is a premium contract. Some teams may be interested in Zion, but they will never pay too much chips. It is estimated that Zion will only change to a first-round pick + a matching contract.
Dezhang Taimury suffered a torn Achilles tendon and was reimbursed this season. After returning next season, it is hard to say whether he can recover from health, but his price is still relatively affordable. It is not difficult for the Pelicans to send him away in the next three years, but they cannot exchange for the chips they want. After all, winning him is a big gamble. If he cannot recover from his peak, it is a garbage contract. Today, Murray openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Pelicans in a podcast program.
He said: The Pelicans may be my worst experience in the NBA. I only love New Orleans. I won’t say bad things about anyone, but that deal shouldn’t have happened. I was with Trae Young. I was training in Atlanta last year, and the Pelicans were not the team we negotiated. He was not even one of the candidate teams, but the deal happened. At first, I felt good at the Pelicans training camp. I later broke my bones and recovered. My mother had a stroke, my cousin was killed, my uncle took an overdo on drugs, and I was overwhelmed by one after another, but the Pelicans never gave me any help or support.
Now Murray is openly dissatisfied. Even if the team does not eventually rebuild, Murray is probably leaving the team. After the Pelicans got the 23rd draw in the first round of the first round, they may have follow-up operations. According to an article by US media reporter Brett, for the 76ers, they have many options, and they may retain the 3rd draw and choose Edgecom or Pele, but many teams interested in Pele have also developed a strong interest in the 3rd draw. Sources revealed that the Pelicans have negotiated with the 76ers.
76ers are indeed not very interested in the Nanhua lottery, and today, according to Jack Fisher, the 76ers' Nanhua lottery and the Hornets' No. 4 lottery are uncertain now. Sources revealed that the two teams have given other teams signals that they will easily get quotes about draft picks. In this case, if the Pelicans are willing to give the two first-round picks they are now + Murphy or Jones to trade, the 76ers are likely to agree to the trade.
And the Pelicans are interested in Bailey, he is considered the next letter or McGrady, because Bailey's talent is very close to the two. Bailey is 2.03 meters tall. He is only 18 years old. He still has the possibility of growing taller in the future. His wingspan reaches 2.15 meters. His explosive power and bounce are top-notch. His core strength is also very good, and his body is resilient. He has a rich offensive arsenal, good at pulling jump shots, extremely high shooting points, and three-pointers are also good at converting offenses.
Excellent movement ability and size allow him to defend multiple positions. His biggest problem now is that his body is too weak and his ability to fight. After improving his confrontation in the future, he will be even better, and he also needs to improve his organizational ability and shooting ability. To be honest, his weaknesses don’t seem to be weaknesses. These can be made up for the day after tomorrow, but their innate advantages are great. If they can be played in the future, his upper limit may be higher than Flag. So if the Pelicans want to bet on him, the team will also have the patience to give him the chance to make mistakes.
