The New Orleans Pelicans are currently in the purgatory between chasing the playoffs and chasing the number one pick in the NBA Draft.
The Pels are the most inconsistent team in the NBA, looking like title contenders one night then losing to the worst team in the NBA the next.
The trade deadline could go either way when it comes to the Pelicans, as they are still close enough to the play-in game to try and add talent at the deadline but also close enough to the bottom of the Western Conference to sell off their veterans for future draft assets and prospects.
