The upcoming offseason is crucial to the future of the New Orleans Pelicans. One of the biggest decisions Pelicans general manager David Griffin has this offseason...is whether or not to re-sign Lonzo Ball.

This shouldn't even be up for debate. Lonzo Ball is developing into an All-Star...and is one of the core pieces to this young Pelicans roster. So...why is his name constantly being mentioned when it comes to trades?

The latest team the Pelicans are rumored to be sending Lonzo Ball to is the Golden State Warriors. We explain why this is detrimental to the future in New Orleans...and outline the only scenario where trading Lonzo the Golden State makes sense.

We also explain why this offseason is so important for David Griffin...and if he trades Lonzo Ball while failing to improve the roster...it will lead to Zion Williamson leaving New Orleans.
