Hi guys, good morning. Welcome to first take again.

Wendy, great to see you, sir.

And of course, JJ ready to dive right in ready to get into it.

I'm actually just excited because it's a it's a great day for me.

I get to be on camera with windy no mad dog.

No, Steven A. Yeah, it's great.

Wow. A lot of times talk.

Before it will be yours.

Wendy, I want to start with you here though.

So what a JJ's former teams, the Pelicans may have interest in trading up in the draft to acquire

Scoot Henderson. Now, New Orleans, best two commodities,

I and Williamson, or Brandon Ingram might have to be a part of the trade package to get a deal like that.

What are you hearing?

Yeah, let's just be honest, the Pelicans, it's not it's not a very well kept secret and have interest in moving up.

They've got the 14th pick in this draft.

So they have that that they can barter with.

They have other picks they can barter with, but to really go high in this draft,

where there's high value in those top three, you're probably going to have to include one of those two players.

Now, this is a fascinating conversation.

We are in the era of smoke screens and misdirections here leading up to the trade or to the draft,

but it is an indication that for the first time they are considering what it would mean to move Zion Williams.

And this is a guy who they really wanted to make their franchise player.
