According to Cody Taylor of Basketball Insiders, the New Orleans Pelicans expressed an interest in trading for Iman Shumpert of the Cleveland Cavaliers last week.
A source told Basketball Insiders last week that the Pelicans were among the teams interested in Cleveland Cavaliers forward Iman Shumpert. Since acquiring Jae Crowder from the Boston Celtics in the Kyrie Irving trade, many speculated that Shumpert could be expendable.
Whether Shumpert asked to be traded by the Cavaliers at the end of last season is irrelevant because Cleveland has reportedly shopped him since the start of free agency.
