Could NOLA make another trade?

The likelihood seems low at first, but now that the New Orleans Pelicans are 4-5 deep in the frontcourt, making another trade before this week’s deadline is certainly something that should be considered.

With Alexis Ajinca, Omer Asik and Terrence Jones presumably being available now, could the Pelicans acquire a better shooter and ball handler in attempt for a real push to knock off GSW?

Only time will tell. The only fact is that DeMarcus Cousins is now a Pelican. And that should make New Orleans better almost immediately.
