The New Orleans Pelicans have been quiet on the trade front so far but the big question is why.
There are certainly some factors that could lead to this being a fairly boring trade deadline, as JJ Redick is hurt, there isn’t much of a market for Eric Bledsoe and Lonzo Ball is playing too well to trade.
But there was a recent trade between the Detroit Pistons and OKC Thunder that had me wondering if David Griffin is on vacation because it involved two guys who could have potentially helped the Pelicans.
