NBA: 5 teams that desperately need to make a trade after their slow start

New Orleans Pelicans

For the past two weeks, the New Orleans Pelicans have rotated between wins and losses. They’ve be the epitome of mediocre in today’s NBA. Even though they’re battling through injuries, the Pelicans are currently out of the top 8 in the West and are sitting at 15-15.

After their hot start, the Pelicans have been an under .500 team for much of the year. And that can’t help this team on the Anthony Davis front, who continues to find his name in the midst of whispers.

In order to keep Davis in a Pelicans uniform, I can’t help but think that this team needs to make a bold move. They need to acquire a second start that could help this team take the next step, or even just get them to a place where they can be consistent.
