Although Adam Silver did not specify anything about a team moving from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference amid potential expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle, the conversation I've had with multiple league personnel is that the Minnesota Timberwolves are the likliest.
I do believe the Pelicans will be aggressive in reshaping their roster this summer and it's possible that Brown is name they check in on. But I don't believe the Pelicans have plans to mortgage their future in terms of significant draft capital in any moves
The Pelicans have interest in acquiring Jaylen Brown, per @JakeLFischer.
A potential trade offer from New Orleans would most likely include Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray or Jordan Poole to match salary, and substantial first-round draft compensation.
Can confirm the Pelicans' interest in Jaylen Brown.
New Orleans is ready to remodel the roster around All-Rookie standouts Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen, who are completely untouchable.
Everyone else—including Zion Williamson—is on the table. New Orleans prefers to keep Zion, but they aren't "married to him."

Pelicans need to hold a CP3 night next year and give this legend his farewell tour

@DylanMckneely Bro, I have not seen a single mocked Pelicans trade on this app that I’d say yes to.
NBA twitter thinks we’re just a charity organization.
