Recently, rumors began to surface, linking the New Orleans Pelicans with a potential trade into the top-3 of the NBA Draft. We can safely assume that the San Antonio Spurs won’t be letting their first overall pick go, so that leaves either the Charlotte Hornets or Portland Trail Blazers as potential trade partners.
The Pelicans currently have a sizeable treasure trove of tradeable assets. From Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson to multiple future first-round draft picks – as such, they have all the ingredients to pique a team’s interest. Furthermore, both the Hornets and Trail Blazers have reasons to entertain a potential trade.
