The New Orleans Pelicans' current A, B and C plan reportedly involves rolling out Anthony Davis, Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday next season, according to Ben Standig of NBC Sports.
The Pelicans will draft Williamson with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. New executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin is going to try and convince Davis to change his mind about wanting to be traded.
Can New Orleans convince the disgruntled big man to reverse course on his trade demands? We'll see if that happens, but the Pelicans' current A, B and C plan involves rolling out Davis, projected No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday next season, according to sources.
Davis can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2020. After the Pelicans won the draft lottery, multiple reports came out stating Davis still wanted to be traded. We'll see if Griffin is able to change AD's mind.
Davis played in 56 games this season. He averaged 25.9 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.4 blocks. Holiday appeared in 67 games before the Pelicans shut him down due to surgery. The combo guard put up 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 7.7 assists.
At Duke, Williamson averaged 22.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists. His nuclear athleticism has made him the most talked about NBA prospect since LeBron James came into the league back in 2003.
A Big 3 with Holiday and Williamson is something AD should think about.
