The New Orleans Pelicans continue to flounder at the bottom of the standings. Many here and elsewhere are hypothetically trading away pieces of the roster in hopes of a turnaround or a full-scale demolition. We as fans almost always expect more for our own players than what the market is willing to pay. The first step to correcting this issue is to understand that it exists. Fans of Team X overvalue players on Team X. This is not something unique to New Orleans or the NBA in general.
The purpose here is two-fold, to discuss what a reasonable return is for each player on the roster as well as how likely the franchise is to trade that player.
