Pelicans Eyeing Trae Young And Other Top-Level Players

According to the Times Picayune’s Christian Clark, the New Orleans Pelicans are expected to engage in trade talks for players like Trae Young, Darius Garland, and Dejounte Murray.

While the Atlanta Hawks aren’t willing to easily move off of Murray, if there is a good enough offer, they’ll entertain it. Garland’s situation is a little more complicated, with a trade request looming, but the team doesn’t want to trade him.

Regardless of what’s going on internally with other teams, New Orleans will be real buyers of these listed players. They took a look at these players during the trade deadline; however, a substantial deal never emerged.

The biggest area of concern for the Pelicans is their lead guard position, with many saying it is holding them back from their fullest potential. It’s also been looked through the lens of Zion Williamson being paired with an exceptional combo guard.
