It is unclear if the New Orleans Pelicans will be buyers or sellers at this year’s trade deadline, which is rapidly approaching.
The Pelicans are currently out of of the playoffs, but because the Western Conference has not been as good as expected, they are still hanging around, though the clock is ticking with each loss.
If the Pelicans do make a trade at the the deadline, there are at least five teams that make sense as partners.
