The New Orleans Pelicans have more trade assets than just about any team in the NBA, which is going to bring the rumors.
One rumor that just keeps coming back is that the Pelicans are going to trade for Bradley Beal.
This was stoked recently by Shams Charania on the Load Management Podcast, who said the New Orleans Pelicans looked hard into acquiring Beal at some point this season.
It obviously didn’t happen and there is no indication of how serious the talks actually were, only that the Pelicans were interested.
The New Orleans Pelicans are in an interesting position, as they have a young, ascending team, so some would prefer they just allow them to grow together, to run it back with this core and see where it can take them.
