Bucks get: Lonzo Ball
Pelicans get: Donte DiVincenzo, D.J. Wilson, 2020 Pacers 1st

Ball’s skillset lends itself to having more of an impact on good teams versus a rebuilding one. The Milwaukee Bucks are arguably the best team in the league. Whether they have interest in shaking up the roster, though, remains to be seen.

If they do have interest in consolidating some of their assets into one, Ball could be had. Both Donte DiVincenzo and D.J. Wilson are projected as prospects a tier below Ball, which explains the need for the Pacers’ first round draft pick acquired in the Malcolm Brogdon sign-and-trade.

Ball would still be coming off the bench but at a much higher level. Matching the Bucks’ system of pace and space with three-point shooting fits like a glove into Ball’s playstyle both overall and this season. Last season, spot-ups comprised 21.3 percent of Ball’s offense, per Synergy. This season, that number is up to 28.4 percent.

Wilson would provide the Pelicans with a floor-spacing big man with some more upside and while DiVincenzo doesn’t help the backcourt logjam, he is more of a tradition shooting guard rather than a point guard, which still helps.
