New Orleans Pelicans
Trade target: OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors
The New Orleans Pelicans have proven that when they’re healthy, they can compete with any team in the Western Conference. If they can remain healthy during the second half of the season, this is a team that could wreak havoc in the playoffs. And they could look to add another piece heading into the NBA Trade Deadline to strengthen their chances.
This is not only a team that could make a small addition at the trade deadline, but the Pelicans are one of the teams that could end up making a big splash. They have plenty of assets at their disposal and still have room to operate on their cap sheet.
They should be aiming high at the deadline and one player that could help this team take the next step as a contender is Toronto Raptors wing OG Anunoby. If they wanted, the Pelicans could match what the Raptors are asking for in a deal for Anunoby. And he’d immediately make this team better on both ends of the floor.
