I think Zuzang is basically a poor mans Hawkins. That and the guard glut UTA has makes this DOA for them IMO.

If Hawkins was like 6'8 this would be a trade - but dont see it in reality.

This. I'd move Kessler for a long wing. For example, I'd gladly move him—along with a significant amount of draft capital—for Trey Murphy. Not that the Pelicans would be necessarily open to this.
