The Pelicans are interested in trading upward to get the Spurs second pick. What chips are they willing to give out?

According to the report of HoopsWire reporter Sam Amico, the New Orleans Pelicans are interested in making an upward trade in this year's NBA draft and trying to get the second pick, and they have contacted the San Antonio Spurs who hold the second pick in the matter. Sam Amico said a source from the aid league told him that he heard that the Pelicans' new head of basketball operations Joe Dumas had called the Spurs to ask about the price it would cost to get the second pick. At that time, it seemed that it was quite difficult for the Pelicans to get this second pick from the Spurs.

In the next NBA draft, the Pelicans held the 7th pick in the first round. Judging from the characteristics and abilities of the lottery candidates in this year's NBA draft, the value of the Pelicans' No. 7 draw is indeed much worse than the Spurs' second pick. It is obviously a lot of money to get the second pick. Not only this No. 7 pick and future first round picks must also include some players in the team's existing lineup that are valuable enough and enough to impress the Spurs.

In fact, when we look at the cards in the Pelicans, we can almost see the cards that can be played by Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Yves Missi and Zion Williamson. Among these people, Missy is very limited in attractiveness to the Spurs, and they can find a better choice; although Williamson has great talent and potential, he has never been able to realize his value, and his attendance rate and self-discipline are all here. Everyone has seen his situation in the past few seasons, and it is even more unlikely that the Spurs will be interested in him at the moment. In other words, the players who can really impress the Spurs are Jones and Murphy.

In the NBA regular season this season, Jones played 20 games in 82 games, averaging 32.4 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. He shot 43.6%, three-point shooting percentage 30.6%, and free throw shooting percentage 82.5%. In the NBA regular season this season, Murphy made a total of 53 appearances in 82 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, with averaging 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 45.4%, three-point shooting percentage 36.1%, and free throw shooting percentage 88.7%. Both players performed quite well, they are also indispensable key figures for the Pelicans, and they will also attract the attention of the Spurs. However, if they are sent away, what will the Pelicans make a comeback?
