Madison explores the implications of these moves on the Pelicans' salary cap and their playoff aspirations. He also highlights the critical importance of the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery, which could reshape the team's trajectory with potential franchise players like Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, or Ace Bailey.
