About this episode

The Pelicans pull off a savvy trade, sending Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy to Memphis for veteran Taj Gibson and AJ Johnson — plus future second-round picks. Hawkins, a first-rounder, hasn’t clicked in New Orleans, while Johnson, a 2024 draft pick, brings modest production. Gibson, a 17-year pro, adds grit and could free up nearly $3.8M in cap space if waived. Peavy’s defensive flashes hint at potential, but this deal signals the Pelicans are reshaping their roster under new leadership — and fans are already wondering how it all fits together long-term.
