Trading away Jrue Holiday already set the team back in terms of present competitiveness.
While Ingram and Zion are impressive, all-star caliber players, will they really be enough to make the playoffs by themselves? I think not, and the front office down the line will make a panic trade to keep Zion happy. Teams that are on their heels when trying to appease their star player rarely make the best deals, and there hasn't been any indication from the Pelicans' front office that they will be any different.
While the Pelicans are lucky enough to have Zion under team control for a good part of this decade, don't be surprised when he tries to force his way out of New Orleans as they continue fall short of expectations.
