The New Orleans Pelicans could lose Anthony Davis this offseason, but they’ll gain Zion Williamson after winning the 2019 NBA draft lottery on Tuesday in Chicago.The Pelicans entered the night with the tied-for-seventh-best odds of landing the No. 1 pick (6 percent). Lady Luck smiled down upon executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin.

Many expect Davis to be out the door after he requested a trade ahead of the Feb. 7 trade deadline. In Williamson, the Pelicans will have a player around whom they can build for the long term.Some fans thought the fix was in when both the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers climbed into the top four. The Knicks weren’t a big surprise since they had a 52.1 percent chance of getting a top-four selection. The Lakers, on the other hand, only had 9.4 percent odds.

However, fans in New York and L.A. likely ended up disappointed with the results of the lottery. It’s a double-whammy for the Knicks and Lakers in particular because they could’ve used the opportunity to select Williamson as a major incentive in a trade package for Davis.Now, those teams will have to get creative to acquire the six-time All-Star.

Of course, some questioned whether Davis might have second thoughts about forcing his way out of New Orleans since he’ll now be joined by a prodigious young talent.A few months ago, things looked pretty bleak for the Pelicans. They were seemingly on the verge of losing their cornerstone and had little other recourse than building through the draft—a strategy that can deliver middling results for years.

Now, New Orleans has a proven front-office executive (Griffin) building the roster and the face of the franchise (Williamson) even if it deals Davis before the start of the 2019-20 season.
