The New Orleans Pelicans, who were well-formed after a trade in the offseason, suffered injuries while everyone was expecting them to play well, while the team was in poor form and at the bottom of the season. Word kept coming out of the league that the Pelicans might want to wait for Fat Tiger and Ingram to get back to health, but they also wanted to rebuild the team lineup through a big deal.
Local media listed 3 Pelicans players worth watching.
3. Hilde
Hield has been a player in the Pelicans trade rumors for years, hield's form has been declining since last season, and the Kings have been in decline after years of slump, and they are eager to trade or completely rebuild, around Halliburton and Mitchell. If they don't want to trade Fox, hilde would be a good choice.
The Kings and Pelicans have come together to have ideas for this year's playoffs, but for now, they all need big changes. It would be nice if the Pelicans could get Hield with a combination of Hayes, Satoransky and draft picks.
2. Fox
Fox Chances has been in the 50% of recent trade rumours because it's the most trade-worthy player on the Kings, and the Kings are constantly exploring the trade market.
The Pelicans have draft picks, but without the chips of a good rookie, it's hard for the Kings to agree, so the deal is difficult. The Pelicans do have salary space, young players and draft picks. If they get a third team into the trade, they have a chance to get Fox.
Fox, a native of New Orleans, has recently expressed his dissatisfaction with the king's status, and he can be combined with the likes of Fat Tiger, perhaps creating something different.
Lillard
It's a bold "fantasy," but it doesn't mean it can't happen. The Blazers will always go to that crossroads, and this season their record is still not good, even the playoffs can not be guaranteed early, and invested $70 million in the backcourt double gun at the age of 61.
The only way the Blazers want to rebuild is to trade Lillard and clear up huge salary space. The Pelicans also have a number of players with great future prospects, draft picks, space and all kinds, and are one of the few teams that meets the requirements of all three at the same time.
While the Pelicans may not choose to take the risk of getting Lillard, it is a theoretically possible option, and the NBA is always full of unexpected things.
