The New Orleans Pelicans need an injection of talent at forward and should be scouring the league for trades to get it, including with the Denver Nuggets for Michael Porter Jr.
The Pelicans don’t really have the assets to get him straight up without giving up a piece of their core, so they would likely have to get a third team involved.
Enter the Washington Wizards.
The Denver Nuggets have underachieved this season but their title window is still wide open because of the Nikola Jokic/Jamal Murray duo, which is one of the best in the NBA.
