New Orleans Pelicans
One of the most intriguing teams in the Western Conferene this season has been the New Orleans Pelicans. Led by C.J. McCollum, Zion Williamson, and Brandon Ingram, the Pelicans have emerged as a threat to finish as a top 4 seed in the conference. However, if history tells us anything, if they’re going to accomplish that, they’re going to need to make an addition or two at the NBA Trade Deadline.
Tim Hardaway Jr. is a player that the Pelicans could explore over the next few weeks in an attempt to shore up their bench and add to their depth. Hardaway has struggled with his efficiency during his time with the Mavs this season but there’s no question that playing next to a team as talented as the trio of McCollum, Zion, and Ingram will only help him on that front.
With how well they’ve played through the first half of the season, there’s no question that the Pelicans should explore making a move at the deadline that will help them cross the finish line strong (hopefully heading into the playoffs). Could that mean a move for Hardaway?
