As the NBA trade deadline looms and trade rumors continue swirling around the league, the New Orleans Pelicans have found themselves to be in the spotlight of many discussions.
Word has reached league-wide that the Pelicans are vying to trade for a big man. This is likely to alleviate Anthony Davis from taking a pounding every night. His size is a tough matchup, against some of the NBA’s best centers. (i.e. DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Jordan, Hassan Whiteside, etc.)
Most notably, the Pelicans have been identified to have trade talks about acquiring Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor and Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez in recent weeks.
