Yes, it’s that time again. The NBA’s trade deadline is just three weeks away, and the worst kept secret in the NBA is that Dell Demps is working the phones in an effort to improve the team and keep Anthony Davis long term. As usual, the Pelicans first round pick is on the table and the hope is that a bad contract of a player Dell overpaid for in free agency goes out with it. With this team, history consistently repeats itself.
But even though the Pels find themselves backed into a corner again, the team can take solace in knowing that these deadlines have gone pretty well for the franchise in the past.
