Ja Morant and Santi Aldama trade to the New Orleans Pelicans More Realistic After Draft Lottery

New Orleans Pelicans eye a blockbuster move for Ja Morant as the Memphis Grizzlies land a franchise-changing draft lottery pick. Could a trade involving Morant and Santi Aldama be the answer to the Pelicans’ big man woes? Jake Madison explores potential deals, lineup combinations featuring Zion Williamson and Dereck Lively II, and what Aldama’s skill set could add to New Orleans’ rotation. The conversation heats up around the Milwaukee Bucks shopping Giannis Antetokounmpo and the impact on the Pelicans’ future draft assets—are the Pelicans positioned to facilitate a major trade for rim-protector Myles Turner? Madison also breaks down James Borrego’s slim prospects of becoming head coach while highlighting player endorsements and organizational challenges. Will New Orleans risk future picks for immediate talent, or should patience prevail?

Subscribe to the channel for regular highlights. #24Seconds #nba #highlights #sports #basketball #sport The Minnesota Timberwolves rested almost all their regulars for the playoffs during a 132-126 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, as franchise icon Kevin Garnett made a special appearance for fan appreciation night in the regular-season finale. Jeremiah Fears had 36 points and 10 rebounds, and Derik Queen added 30 points with a career-high 22 rebounds for the Pelicans (27-55), who got productive rookie years from their two first-round draft picks amid another injury-affected season. Fears played 82 games, and Queen played 81. The Pelicans don't have a first-round pick in the draft this year. Their first offseason priority is naming a head coach. Willie Green was fired after a 2-10 start, and James Borrego took the interim role. The Timberwolves will play the No. 3 seed Nuggets in a first-round playoff series starting in Denver on Saturday.

NBA Coaches on the Hot Seat: Mosley, Rivers, Donovan, Keefe, Borrego & Christie

Shock Clock Pod – Week 24: NBA Coaches on the Hot Seat + Lakers Outlook Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello preview Week 24 of Steve’s “13 Rules: Random NBA Thoughts” with a new format ranking NBA coaches on the hot seat. They discuss why Orlando’s Jamahl Mosley is most vulnerable (tension with Paolo Banchero, a 31–0 run allowed, and little improvement after adding Desmond Bane), debate Milwaukee’s Doc Rivers amid a potential rebuild, and cover Toronto’s Darko Rajaković as contracts and expectations rise. They examine Chicago’s Billy Donovan (possible mutual exit, rumored college interest, and roster issues), Washington’s Brian Keefe with the league’s worst defense and upcoming veterans, New Orleans interim James Borrego and front-office direction, and Sacramento’s Doug Christie amid organizational instability. They also assess the Lakers’ injuries, ceiling after being blown out by Oklahoma City, and an offseason retool, and tease a data-based championship predictor to discuss next week. 00:00 Show intro and format 01:40 Coaches on the hot seat 02:18 Orlando Magic Mosley 04:12 Giannis trade tangent 04:42 Milwaukee Bucks Doc 06:30 Ranking first two 07:03 Toronto Raptors Darko 09:00 Chicago Bulls Donovan 11:08 Donovan ranking and Knicks 12:06 Washington Wizards Keefe 14:05 Front Office Pressure 14:43 Pelicans Interim Debate 16:48 Kings Coaching Chaos 18:10 Kings Roster Money Crunch 20:00 Lakers Reality Check 21:10 OKC Blowout Turning Point 23:17 LeBron Aging And Retool 25:28 Analytics Champion Tease 27:34 Wrap Up And Next Week
